Antique Victorian Brooch Sterling Silver Amethyst 1800s French Boar Hallmarks

Exceptional Victorian era brooch featuring 3 faceted heart shaped genuine amethysts and pyrite ruffle. As is true of many Victorian period pieces this brooch has symbolic meaning, the bow like garland and center cross are meant to represent love & fidelity in marriage.

Design details such as c-catch and tube hinge suggest this piece dates to the 1800s. The boar hallmark is tied to the Paris assay office and indicates Sterling Silver of French origin. The triangular shape and extra sterling loop indicate it could have once be worn as a pendant.

Nice size brooch 2.5 inches in length 1 7/8 wide. Condition: good for age at 130 plus years old. Note: Last photo shows small loop of silver above c -catch that indicates it may have once been stomacher or pendant as well as a brooch. Under magnification flea bite noted to side of left gemstone.
