Jewish families in this period often avoided overt religious symbols in the jewelry they commissioned, and much of what was made has not survived. This antique brooch does the opposite, centering a Star of David cipher in black enamel as the literal focal point of the design, surrounded by a deeply scalloped repoussé frame built outward in tiers of hand worked foliate scrollwork, ringed with natural turquoise cabochons and seed pearls set individually by hand. This is Victorian Judaica, and pieces combining this era, this religious clarity, and this scale rarely surface in the resale market at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 2.5 inches tall this antique piece is genuinely oversized for its era, when most brooches were built to sit modestly at a collar. This one was clearly meant to be seen. Every element here was shaped, engraved, and set by a goldsmith, not stamped by a machine, the kind of labor no modern production line replicates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe long pin and C catch on the reverse are period correct construction that predates the safety catch, one of the clearest markers that this piece was made well over a hundred years ago, likely deep in the Victorian era. Surviving a century plus in solid 14K gold with its turquoise and pearls still intact and secure is not the norm, most pieces this age and this size were melted down or lost their stones long ago. Wear is exactly what a piece this old should show, honest patina rather than damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rare piece of Victorian Judaica at this scale and craftsmanship is not something you find twice. This is a genuine collector's brooch, not a decorative afterthought.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GOTTROCKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51797486371122,"sku":null,"price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/0595\/5890\/files\/IMG_7219.jpg?v=1789345568","url":"https:\/\/ladygotrocks.com\/products\/antique-victorian-14k-gold-turquoise-pearl-brooch-massive-scale-rare-hand-fabricated-goldwork-over-a-century-old","provider":"GOTROCKS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
