1880's Golden Mermaid Brooch

Transport yourself to the opulent elegance of the late 19th century with this enchanting Gold-filled Brooch, a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic flair of the Victorian era. Crafted in the 1880s, this magnificent piece captures the whimsical allure of the mythical realm with its depiction of a mermaid astride a gracefully arcing fish, both rendered in intricate detail.

At the side of this mesmerizing tableau is a captivating green eye, imbued with an almost otherworldly allure, evoking the mysteries of the deep sea. The fish, with scales gleaming in a radiant golden glow, seems to dance beneath her, carrying her on an ethereal journey through the waters.

(If you'd prefer to wear this as a pendant they do make converters or would be easy to have a jeweler add a loop.)
