A pretty vintage peacock pin or brooch. It is very ornate with individually
set emeralds and rubies. It is gold plated metal. I believe that this piece is
from India, but I cannot say for sure. A locking clasp that is in working order.
The brooch measures approximately 2" by 2". Condition: ---Some of the stones are scratched and chipped. (I could see this through a loupe.) ---There is some wear and darkening to the gold plated finish.
---The pin stem has a slight bend. Still functions properly.

Tiny Antique Victorian Locket - Black Enamel - Dented - Tintypes - C1860s
Very small, very dented and well loved antique Victorian locket. I say well loved
because the front and back are very dented. Most likely from a teething baby
chewing on the locket. One side of the locket has a floral engraved design. The
other side also has a decorative engraved design. Both sides have black enamel.
The front and back panels are 9k gold. The frame and bail of the locket are a
plated base metal. Inside the locket are tintypes of a man and woman (under glass).
The locket opens and closes properly. It dates to the 1860s to 1870s.
Being sold as is.
Condition: ---Front and back are very dented. ---Lots of wear to the enamel. ---Wear to overall finish and loss of plating....inside and out. Measurements: 1/2" by 3/4"
