Condition Notes: This lot is a distinguished example of Victorian mourning jewelry, comprising a celestial-themed enamel brooch and a black and white onyx cameo ring. The brooch, depicting a young lady framed by stars and a crescent moon, bears motifs symbolizing guidance, remembrance, and the passage of time. Its detailing is exceptional, with only a small area of enamel loss visible upon close inspection. The brooch tests as 14k gold, while the unmarked ring tests as 10k. The onyx cameo ring, with its bold contrast of black and white layers, underscores the mourning association, as onyx was a favored material for memorial adornment during the Victorian era.
