Seller's Description
Genuine Antique 9ct Gold Mizpah Lovers Brooch Pin
Hello there and welcome (kroeso) to my wee store.
I sell online in high-end shops and websites and pre-Covid used to attend trade fairs around the globe. I have a huge stock of "bargain basement" items which were great at fairs for inexpensive extras. I also have a massive stock of highly valuable and collectable items never seen before on the internet.
I find it heart-breaking that brooches such as this no longer seem to have the appeal they once did as they are one of the most versatile pieces of jewellery you could have.
Mizpah brooches are still very popular however and this is an excellent example.
ABOUT THIS BROOCH
Constructed from solid 9ct yellow and rose gold (375 parts per 1000).
UK assay marked old style, X-ray tested.
Dates to end of the 19th Century (c1880s)
The style is classic Victorian, of very detailed construction and super high quality.
There is wonderful detailing and the full Mizpah verse quoted.
Fastens with a silver hinged pin and C hook clasp - all in good order.
Condition is very good, especially considering its age.
Length is 40mm.
Width is 19.5 mm.
It sits 5.5 mm proud.
Weight is under 5 grams (I do not sell items of this quality by weight anyways)
You would expect to pay between £600 and £1,000 for a brooch like this at a fancy antique shop, depending on your ability to hunt down a bargain.
Fully insured and tracked postage MUST be purchased with this brooch.
CONDITION REPORT
Many of my brooches are VERY old and have some signs of this. I ensure they are fully operational and can be worn from arrival but I do not like polishing them to "as new" because I feel this detracts from their history. I will consider doing so, for a small fee, if you ask nicely ;-)
I guarantee all items to be as described and will accept a return on anything you are not happy with.
Please contact me directly via messaging should you wish to do this.
