A pretty vintage peacock pin or brooch. It is very ornate with individually

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"
