Antique Brooch 1 5/8" Victorian Mourning Steatite Stone C Clasp Fine Silver 6.6g

This 1 5/8" wide antique brooch features a Victorian mourning design with a oval steatite stone set in fine silver with a C clasp closure. The black and dark gray color stone is natural and the bezel setting style adds to the vintage charm of the piece. This artisan-crafted brooch is a unique and original fashion accessory for women, making it a special addition to any jewelry collection. This vintage Victorian mourning brooch is in fair to good pre owned condition with some scratches on the soft steatite or soapstone cabochon and irregularity on the fairly thin fine silver metal where the artisan cut sections out to create the ornate design, the C Clasp closure is solid and functions properly. There are no maker's marks or purity hallmarks that we could find on this brooch during examination under a microscope. Please review the pictures for more details and size measurement information, thank you.
