Petit Antique Victorian Seed Pearl Mourning or Memento Pin, Brooch in 10k Gold 14k gold plaque Raised on steel bun feetEvenly chosen seed pearls 3 mm in size, slightly larger than most of these, and an elongated rectangular aperture and petit size make this one feel like a tie pin, or a small pin worn by a husband whose beautiful brunette wife is remembered by a plaiting of hair within.
