Antique Georgian Woven Hair Flower Seed Pearls Pin - For Restoration - C1820



An antique Georgian woven hair and seed pearls pin. The woven hair, 
done in the shape of a flower, is under beveled glass. Surrounded by 
natural seed pearls. ( Six pearls are missing.)  I have not tested the 
metal content of this piece. It looks to be a low karat gold. Selling as 
gold tone. It has three initials engraved on the back. Simple C clasp 
that is in working order. This pin dates to the 1820s to 1830s. Most 
likely a mourning piece. It is in need of restoration and has been priced 
accordingly. 

Measurements: 
3/4" by 5/8" 

Condition:
---There six tiny pearls missing from the pin. 
---Some dents on the back of pin. Also some discoloration.
---Has not been cleaned. Needs restoration
