A very stunning and versatile hanging brooch, detachable to also wear as a pendant necklace. The hanging pendant was originally from a Gentleman's fob watch chain - as was the custom in Victorian times to wear these elaborate and ornate fobs to decorate and be part of the watch ensemble. It is rose gold with the addition of an Etruscan silver overlaid bird in flight, the bird beautifully etched and detailed along the entire body, with the background scenery also finely etched to show the bird flying over a lake with rippled water and bullrushes, reeds, marshland and trees in the foreground. The brooch part is a lovely etched piece forming a ribbon bow. On the back is a hook to take the pendant on or off when you may wish to wear as a pendant necklace with the addition of a chain. On the back of the pendant is a polished and faceted agate, so, even wearing as a pendant necklace you can get two entirely different looks from this one piece - as you can also achieve when wearing as a brooch, showing either the front or back of the piece. The brooch is rose gold filled and stamped on the back and has a safety closure. The pendant also has a lovely ridged outer perimeter. The pendant measures 3/4" inches wide by 1-1/2" inches tall, including the bale. The bow brooch part of the piece measures1-3/4" inches wide by 1" inch. A truly magnificent example of Victorian era jewelry in excellent condition.
