A deeply touching early Victorian mourning brooch, rich in personal history and sentiment.
Designed in classic locket form, this brooch features a central glazed compartment which still retains the original woven hair of the departed. Hairwork was an especially intimate element of mourning jewellery in the early Victorian era, serving as a tangible and deeply personal keepsake at a time when photography was still in its infancy. The brooch also features a loop attachment meaning it can also be worn as a pendant making it very wearable.
The reverse of the brooch is formed from a substantial 9 carat gold panel, hand engraved with the dedication: “Rv E King Jv C Slefser 1847.” Such inscriptions anchor the piece firmly in its historical moment, transforming it from an object of adornment into a recorded act of remembrance.
The simplicity and restraint of the design are entirely in keeping with early Victorian mourning aesthetics, where meaning and memory took precedence over ornamentation. It appears this may have been for a religious individual RV maybe referring to a reverend, another reason it maybe a more paired back design.
A moving and authentic mourning jewel from the mid 19th century, created to honour, remember, and hold close the memory of loved ones.

Good quality desk for the money
Color: White, Size: 40inch without Power Outlet
Overall this is nice little desk, cute, sturdy, and relatively easy to put together by myself. I took one star off because the bottoms of the desk drawers was missing. I contacted the seller and initially got a pretty quick response that the manufacturer would send replacement pieces and provide the shipping tracking information from the warehouse as soon as they had it. Then a few weeks went by without any word and I couldn't seem to contact anyone again (every link came up broken) so I thought I was essentially ghosted. But then they did contact me with the tracking information and eventually sent the replacement drawer flats.
So it took almost two months to resolve but I did get the missing pieces and overall I'm pretty happy with this desk as it was exactly what I wanted for my small home office.

Not a sturdy construction
Color: White, Size: 40inch without Power Outlet
I was excited about this purchase until I tried to assemble it. I bought this desk because i liked the design and the size. It also had great reviews as a sturdy desk. One of the joints fell apart. Parts of the desk have lock in screws wile other joints have these smaller locks that don't really work. I didn't return it because it's to heavy for me to re-box. I'm 66. I'm really disappointed. I wish furniture came already assembled. Hard to find these days. I guess I'll go back to purchasing real wood items from Facebook Market Place and thrift stores.
