Antique Victorian 15ct Yellow Gold Dinna Forget Brooch Hallmark Birmingham 1899
About the Item
Presenting this meaningful brooch with interesting history.
The piece features the motif 'Dinna Forget' and the Scottish Thistle emblem carved in 15ct yellow gold. It also sports a tiny, green stone which is probably paste and a fine, swag chain at the bottom.
The brooch bears hallmarks for Birmingham 1899, and the makers mark HN&Co for Henry Nathan and Co.
This is where the story gets interesting, because this little treasure has somehow made its way to Australia and into the hands of A. Saunders, who were prominent jewellers in the Sydney CBD at the turn of the 20th century.
One might assume, that the brooch was given to a lady who was departing for Australia by ship in the early 1900s, and given as a token of love from a Scottish gentleman, hoping that he would not be forgotten. But, it would seem that this hope was in vane and the brooch was possibly hocked to A. Saunders.
Saunders then added their own hallmark and registry number RD337012. Sometimes I wish these pieces could talk to us and reveal their true life's journey.
The Brooch is in excellent, antique condition. It measures approximately 4.5cms and is secured by a gold pin and C clasp with a strong hinge.
This is a little treasure that we will 'Dinna Forget'.
We offer free shipping and a 7 day return policy.
