Exquisite antique Mizpah brooch done in three colors of gold. I have had these brooches in silver, but never in gold and with such an intricate design. The word Mizpah is an emotional bond between people who are separated. Mizpah jewelery is worn to signify this bond, and was common in Victorian times as a type of blessing, or good luck.

A very unusual lava cameo of a hunting dog, appears to be either a retriever or setter. The lava stone has been carved to create an effect of two tones to the dogs coat. Image is in quite high relief, with the dog standing on a rock formation which is also in two tones of color. The cameo is framed in its original rectangular gold colored frame with C clasp and long pin. Quite a rare piece with with an unusual motif.

Gold has some wear and there is a fine line separation at the hinge, but still totally firm and wearable. There is a very tiny flake on one side of the carving, but this may be intrinsic to the piece.

Size: 2 X 1 1/4 inch framed.
