Jewelry - Hand-carved Bone ~ Victorian Camelia Brooch Pin

In Victorian times, flower and foliage symbolism became so popular that most every flower known had a meaning assigned to it. Reproduced from classic Victorian designs, the camelia was a traditional symbol meaning reflected loveliness. Ours features the classic camelia and delicate foliage ornamentation with scalloped edging.

Will develop into a golden patina over time just like the ivory originals. May be dyed with tea to darken them to enhance the classic three-dimensional design. You may request us to tea-dye your piece to look even older by typing into your order's Special Request notes field: "Please tea-dye for me.". But if tea-dyed, it is not returnable for any reason. Bone jewelry pieces also may be dyed black with Rit dye to create beautiful mourning jewelry, a two-year Victorian tradition.

A lovely alternative to the cameo, ours is hand-crafted and a true one-of-a-kind work of art from River Junction's own bone craftsmen. Well worth its fair price. Request yours with or without a pin on back so you may decorate your favorite hat or reticule. Measures about 2 by 1 in.
