Can be worn either as a pin or pendant (small bale up top means you can add a loop or hook for gold chain or to latch over pearl strand. Really a beautiful one - I've clustered these on lapel of a more formal AKRIS black silk velvet tailored jacket before and love that look. I've seen them hanging in numbers along a pearl strand which is also a stunning look.  Full measurements noted on the photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good to excellent condition throughout for this one. The 12k gold could use a polish on the backside (sorry I didn't do that). The pearls are not lost or damaged, nicely matched and in 1-2 mm size. Hair art in place and cover glass is clear and highly polished, convex, drawing in light and showing the memento very well. A splendid pin!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiques \u0026 Uncommon Treasure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47737611485438,"sku":"126pin1","price":490.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0298\/3392\/0556\/files\/126pin1.jpg?v=1769288505","url":"https:\/\/antiques-uncommon-treasure.com\/ja\/products\/rare-c-1793-engraved-mourning-pin-brooch-in-10k-gold-w-seed-pearls-gold-monogram-on-blond-hair","provider":"Antiques \u0026 Uncommon Treasure","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
