Victorian Faith, Hope & Charity Mourning Brooch in 15 Carat Gold

A jewel steeped in sentiment and symbolism. This exquisite Victorian brooch is a tender testament to love and devotion, a piece created not merely to adorn, but to hold meaning. Created in 15 carat yellow gold, it beautifully weaves together the three great virtues of the age: a cross for faith, an anchor for hope, and a heart for charity.

At the centre of the composition, the heart is formed with a domed glazed panel, beneath which lies a carefully plaited lock of blonde hair. A deeply personal token, most likely a keepsake from a sweetheart or beloved. Victorian jewellery often carried such hidden messages as an intimate expression of love or mourning. This piece, preserved in exceptional condition, still carries that emotional weight more than a century later.

The craftsmanship is superb: a delicate gold rope motif flows gracefully along the brooch, and a safety chain has been thoughtfully included, allowing the piece to be worn securely.More than just an ornament, this brooch is a miniature work of art, rich with Victorian symbolism and deeply human sentiment. A precious reminder of the enduring bonds of love and memory.
