An exquisite and moody statement piece, this brooch features a rare black-on-black glass cameo depicting a classical female profile in high relief. The central oval is encased in an ornate, scalloped gold-tone frame accented with clusters of delicate seed pearls. At 13.0 grams, it is a versatile weight that offers a touch of dark elegance to a modern lapel, velvet ribbon, or high-collared blouse.
Design Opinion
The use of a matte black cameo against a polished black background creates a sophisticated, subtle "shadow" effect. This monochromatic look, paired with the antiqued gold-tone filigree and shell-like metal motifs, strongly echoes the Mourning Jewelry of the Victorian era. It is a perfect piece for those who appreciate "Dark Academia" or classic Gothic Revival styles.
