Victorian Mourning Black Enamel Coral Gold Filled Brooch Earrings Set JR2050

Rare late Victorian mourning demi-parure consisting of a convertible brooch/pendant and matching earrings. Each circular piece features richly textured gold-filled metal with a bold black enamel geometric starburst pattern composed of repeated diamond motifs, centered by a raised coral cylinder. The strong black-and-gold contrast, formal symmetrical enamel design and period construction give the set unmistakable Victorian mourning character. Coral was frequently used in Victorian jewelry, including coordinated brooch and earring suites, making this surviving matched set especially appealing.
