Antique Victorian Bar Brooch and Drop Earrings Set, Mourning Jewelry - This antique three-piece jewelry set, likely dating to the late Victorian or early Edwardian era, comprises one bar brooch and a matching pair of drop earrings. The metalwork is yellow-toned and appears to be gold or gold-filled, constructed with closed-back settings. The design utilizes black, opaque material, likely pressed glass or black enamel, set into the metalwork. The brooch is a linear design composed of five linked elements: a central square flanked by two oval pieces on each side. The black material on the brooch features a distinctive wavy, striped texture. The matching drop earrings feature hinged lever-back wires and a two-part construction. The scalloped drops display fine horizontal striations in the black material. The pieces exhibit characteristics typical of mourning jewelry of the period. No hallmarks or purity stamps are visible.
