Very large domed jet brooch featuring a carved polished grape leaf against a matt background and grapes in the partially pierced frond like border.

Jet jewellery became very much worn during the nineteenth century and Queen Victoria’s protracted mourning. Her loyal subjects followed suit. Whitby was the main source of jet for such pieces.
