This rare demantoid center-stone is surrounded in an accentuated floral-bloom perimeter composed of eight lustrous prong-set 'cream' colored 'button' shaped mabe pearls measuring an average of 3.7mm wide and mounted within flattering mirrored floral settings. Most likely an enchanting example of Victorian mourning jewelry, this astounding pin features a veiled glass bezel located on its reverse created to hold a deceased loved one's photograph or lock of hair. Secured by means of a well-constructed retractable stem and C-hook clasp closure mounted atop a horizontally arranged figure-eight structure this fascinating, one-of-a-kind Victorian pin is concluded with torsade trim, black enamel accents and a garlanded frame at the apex.
