"Normally memorial brooches contain a lock of hair, a miniture painting of an eye but we never came across a brooch like this. We think we see, on an embroidered pink background, in white hair or white fine textile a Star of David and the center of this star is dark hair (we think). Antique jewelry object group: brooch Country of origin: Although it does not carry any legible control marks we believe this to be of British origin. Style: Georgian - Georgian style is the name given in most English-speaking countries to the set of styles current between 1720 and 1840.
