Antique 1907 9ct Gold Mizpah Brooch · Birmingham Hallmarked Forget Me Not Pin

A beautiful Edwardian Mizpah brooch dating to 1907, crafted in 9ct gold and decorated with traditional sentimental motifs.
 
The word MIZPAH is beautifully worked across the centre in raised lettering, surrounded by delicate floral decoration and scrolling goldwork. The design is finished with a small forget-me-not flower, a particularly fitting detail for a piece of sentimental jewellery intended to represent remembrance, affection and enduring connection.
 
Mizpah jewellery takes its name from the biblical story of Jacob and Laban and the sentiment, “The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.” During the Victorian and Edwardian eras, Mizpah jewellery became a popular token exchanged between loved ones who were separated by distance.
 
The reverse carries British hallmarks for 9ct gold, Birmingham, 1907, providing a wonderful exact date for this piece. At more than a century old, the brooch retains the character and romantic symbolism that makes antique Mizpah jewellery so collectible today.
 
A lovely piece of Edwardian sentimental jewellery and a meaningful antique gift representing love, remembrance and connection across distance.
