Beautiful 1980s/90s Vintage Victorian Style Chatelaine Inspired Gold Tone Charm Dangle Brooch In Great Condition.
This elegant pin measures approximately 2 1/4" in length.
This lovely piece features a lady's hand with a ruffled cuff and three dangling charms: a teapot, a heart with a cameo which opens and serves as a locket to put small pictures inside and a pair of scissors.
The "Victorian Hand" or "Lady's Hand" holding charms is a classic sentimental jewelry style from the Victorian era (circa 1837–1901), often symbolizing friendship or affection.
The brooch mimics a chatelaine, a functional waist-hung accessory worn by 19th-century housekeepers to carry tools like keys, scissors, and sewing implements.
Modern versions, like this one are popular in Dark Academia and Victorian Gothic fashion
