{"product_id":"georgian-carved-chalcedony-brooch","title":"Georgian Carved Chalcedony Brooch","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn unusual and visually striking Georgian brooch dating from the early 1800s. It's round, and formed from a single piece of carved yellow chalcedony with an ornate locket compartment offset from the centre of the dome. The gold frame around the stone is ornately worked with rococo-inspired designs, and the locket compartment is home to a woven lock of hair and adorned with tiny rope and granulated decoration. A gold panel to the reverse is inscribed with a monogram: FCH. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hair and monogram may suggest it's a mourning piece, but the joyful, sunshine colour of the stone and the ornate embellishment suggest to me that the sentiment may have been romantic rather than mourning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Georgian, circa 1810\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 18.7mm by 19.1mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStone: Chalcedony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarks: None, tested as 18ct gold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Great antique condition; light wear consistent with age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lost Heirloom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52488436744504,"sku":"PA292","price":750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/7387\/2952\/files\/Website-0061.jpg?v=1781276003","url":"https:\/\/lostowl.com\/products\/georgian-carved-chalcedony-brooch","provider":"Lost Owl Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
