MABEL Edwardian Name Pin Gold on Silver - Hallmarked Birmingham 1903

This Edwardian sterling silver 'MABEL' name brooch has the added advantage of having this pretty name picked out in real Rose gold.  The gold block capital letters are applied to the real silver antique brooch to great effect. Also there are four added rose gold Forget Me Knot flowers too; a Victorian message for True Love.  The bar brooch has a decorative outline shape too.  Measuring 4cm in length and about 1.5cm at its widest point, this brooch finishes with an old fashioned 'c' type clasp - in common with Victorian and 19th Century brooches and pins.  It has the full Hallmark for Birmingham ( the Anchor), the lion passant to show that it is sterling silver and the letter 'd’ for the year 1903.   I never over-clean antique brooches as collectors often want their Victorian or Edwardian jewellery to look as if it has some age! This would clean up bright and shiny with a silver cleaner if you wanted it to look like new!
