Victorian Vulcanite Mourning Brooch
This Victorian bar brooch dates to the late 19th century and features a vulcanite panel framed by a twisted brass border. At the center sits a faceted purple paste glass stone, with delicate foliate details typical of the era.
Vulcanite, an early hard rubber, was widely used in Victorian jewelry for its durability and deep black color, particularly in both mourning and fashionable everyday pieces.
