The brooch comprises a black enamel memorial panel inscribed “In Memory Of”, centred by an oval glazed compartment containing hairwork, encircled by seed pearls and framed by an ornate gilt mount.

Mounted on a 6cm black velvet choker with a silver-tone ribbon clasp.
Some wear and losses to the enamel, commensurate with age. Please examine the photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
The choker is adjustable from 28cm and can be extended further with the velvet ribbon ties.
Brooch measures 4.5cm × 5cm.
