Pique Victorian Maltese Cross Brooch

TBC-9
627 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

When Prince Albert Died the whole nation went in to mourning with Queen Victoria. This led to an explosion of jewellery which was very dark, from jet to black glass to tortoiseshell. At first the pieces were very plain and as the century wore on more decorative elements crept in. This tortoiseshell piece dates from around 1880 as it is already quite intricately inlaid with gold and silver.
