This fabulous Antique brooch with repoussé setting and scroll work in 10 karat yellow gold containing a large 15.82 carat oval citrine was created approximately in the last few decades of the 1800s, Circa 1880. There were two Gothic Revival styles in the 1800s and this is from the latter. It bears a resemblance to the mourning styles so popular in the earlier part of the 1800s during the first Gothic revival, but citrine is not a common gemstone in mourning jewelry. This strikes me as simply a fashion brooch and not necessarily a mourning brooch, but that's likely subject to interpretation as different books on the subject will state different things in reference to the gemstones used. This lovely brooch measures 1 1/4 inches long by 1 1/8 inches high. The C clasp is of the period, but has Classic Gold Intaglio Brooch, Classic Gold Brooch With Intaglio Detail, Classic Gold Intaglio Brooches, Classic Gold Brooches With Intaglio, Antique Gold Intaglio Brooches, Ornate Yellow Gold Brooch For Formal Occasions, Ornate Oval Engraved Brooches, Ornate Oval Intaglio Brooches, Antique Gold Oval Brooch
