About the Item

This rare Victorian era brooch (circa 1860) presents an exquisitely detailed hand motif, sculpted in 14k gold and adorned with a delicate black enamel lace cuff. Rich red glass accents bring a subtle vibrancy, highlighting the period’s fascination with symbolic jewelry and refined craftsmanship. Measuring 1.5 inches by 2.2 inches wide and weighing 7.28 grams, the piece is hollow yet substantial, allowing for graceful wear without compromising presence. The brooch remains in great condition, a remarkable survival of mid-19th century artistry. The gold content has been verified through XRF (x-ray fluorescence) analysis and jeweler’s acid testing, ensuring both authenticity and quality. Motifs of hands were deeply symbolic in Victorian jewelry, often representing affection, fidelity, and connection—making this jewel not only a collector’s treasure but also a meaningful piece of wearable history. Materials: 14k gold, Enamel, Glass.
