Seller's description

HUGE Edwardian French Jet Art Deco Brooch

Lovely original HUGE Edwardian French jet brooch with cut out what appears to look like a shamrock of black wire. Brooch measures 3 1/4" in diameter, with early ball hinge and "c" clasp closure. VERY unusual!!

The death of Prince Albert in England, and the over 500,000 deaths of soldiers in the American Civil War elevated mourning to an art form in both the United States and Europe and mourning jewelry was an integral part of the dress of the mourner. Today, these are beautiful and collectible pieces of jewelry. Jet was the gemstone of choice for those that could afford it, and the finest jet in the world comes from Whitby, England. The French, not to be outdone by the British, made beautiful carved black mourning jewelry from glass, which is known as French Jet.
