Am interesting antique Victorian era Vulcanite cameo brooch.

It is a very well designed piece depicting a lady, possibly Mary.

The cameo has some lightening to the Vulcanite but no chips or cracks and is a nice unusual design.

Vulcanite was created in the early 19th century by Charles Goodyear and it was invented after blending a mix of sulphur and rubber, creating a hardened or vulcanised rubber known as Vulcanite.

It is usually a rich dark brown to black colour and this made it a popular alternative to Whitby Jet for mourning and other jewellery.

It is highly prized today and genuine pieces of Vulcanite jewellery are popular among collectors.

It is has an old c type clasp and pin fastener this is brass.

Unmarked, c1880s

Condition:
Good used condition overall, some age commensurate wear and signs of use, some light surface wear, lightening to the Vulcanite.

Approx measurements:
1.90" width
1.50" height.
