Victorian Lily of The Valley Crystal Teardrops Gold Metal Brooch$172.00
This is so stunning!
Circa mid to late 1800s
Victorian Era
Large brooch or hat decoration pin
Made of an unknown gold metal
Heavy, beveled crystal tear drops dangle from the gold metal branches or stems
Beveled cut of crystals catch the light beautifully and swing from the setting to make a pretty tinkling sound!
12 crystals, each one just under 1/2 inch length and 3/8 at widest
Brooch measures 4 1/8 inches in length and about 2 inches wide
Represents Lily of the Valley which in Victorian times represented a return of happiness
Tube catch clasp
Nice condition, I see no chips on the crystals. The gold metal shows some darkening from age. Brooch has some weight to it and with the tube catch you will want to ensure it is worn in proper direction so pin doesn't slip out of catch.
