A trio of late 19th and early 20th-century silver brooches. The collection includes a large oval mourning-style brooch featuring a central black onyx cabochon grain-set with three small clear stones in a triangular pattern, surrounded by a border of approximately 42 seed pearls. The reverse is fitted with a hinged pin and a revolving safety catch, and bears a small, worn rectangular mark that is not clearly legible. Also included is a bar brooch set with a central oval translucent blue cabochon, likely chalcedony or glass, in a simple bezel setting upon a rectangular-section bar, secured by a hinged pin and C-clasp. The final piece is a lozenge-shaped sentimental brooch with engraved foliate borders and the word MIZPAH in stylized vertical lettering, highlighted with blue enamel. This brooch is fitted with a hinged pin and a simple C-clasp.
