Victorian Brooch

Victorian Gilt Filigree Cameo Brooch. An exquisite cameo brooch featuring an ornate gilt filigree mounting with a carved black cameo at its center. The brooch is richly detailed with high-relief scrollwork, floral motifs, and a warm gold-toned finish typical of late 19th-century European jewelry.

The oval cameo is carved in black glass (commonly referred to as French jet style), depicting an elegant floral motif with deep, dimensional carving. The contrast between the dark cameo and luminous gilt frame creates a striking, romantic silhouette that feels both dramatic and refined.

This piece embodies the Victorian love of symbolism and craftsmanship—each curve and flourish carefully worked by hand. It wears beautifully as a brooch, statement accessory on a coat or blouse, or displayed as part of a curated jewelry
