On the back of this Civil War era Victorian hair pin is the date November 19th 1862. Showcased under the beveled glass of the 14kt yellow gold frame are locks of braided hair. They were woven on a palette to form the lattice design and are surrounded by forty two (42) natural pearls. Around the outer portion of the frame there are twenty six dark garnets which encircle the entire pin. A gold stick pin is attached along with a gold chain to act as a safety. Hair pins served as memorial jewelry for loved ones. This pin in particular would have significance to a Civil War collector. |
