Victorian Nanny Brooch Antique Jewelry England
This piece of English jewelry is known as a Nanny brooch, so named because it was commonly worn by a nanny. Along with being pretty, it would be especially useful to her because of its little miniature sewing set inside. The end unscrews to reveal a needle and thread. The children's outfits could be repaired in a jiffy. This brooch dates from the Victorian period or earlier. It features a round sparkling Goldstone set amidst floral shapes and filigree in silver tone. The back is marked DRGM with number. The size is 2 inches. Its condition is excellent for its age. This is a lovely brooch, and a charming item for anyone who loves sewing.
