Unlike regular clothing pins used during the Victorian era, mourning pins were for securing shawls, veils and other garments during periods of mourning. This bar pin features a sunburst design of half-pearls and gold set against a black onyx background. Gump’s is forever treasure hunting for the best of everything and our collection of estate jewelry — featuring rare antique pieces — is no exception. Distinguished in provenance, each item is one of a kind, reflecting its distinctive gemstones, materials and craftsmanship.
