A whole family, kept close. This Victorian brooch carries four sepia photographic portraits under glass, a gentleman, two ladies and a small child, each in its own round medallion, arranged in a cluster on an ornate gilt frame with bead details. Brooches like this were worn as portable family albums in the decades before everyone carried photographs in a pocket, and surviving multi portrait examples are genuinely scarce.

Wear it on a dark velvet ribbon as a pendant or pin it at the center of a lace collar; it starts conversations everywhere it goes.

SIZE: One size.

MATERIALS: Gilt metal, photographic portraits under glass.

ERA: Estimated 1890s.

MEASUREMENTS: Approximately 2.5 inches wide.

CONDITION: In good secondhand condition, with some normal wear and tear that comes with age. The portraits have the soft fading of age and the gilt finish shows wear at the high points. The glass covers are intact and the pin back is secure.

By purchasing items from Dollchunk Bazaar, you recognize that all items are secondhand--sometimes over 100 years old!--and therefore have normal wear and tear. The condition of all items can be seen in photos. If you have any questions, reach out to customerservice@dollchunk.com before purchasing.

Each Dollchunk piece is handcrafted in New York City. Due to the handmade nature, each Dollchunk piece is one-of-a-kind and will vary slightly. Please see Materials and Use and Care Instructions below.

Materials

Use and Care Instructions

Dollchunk items are delicate and should be treated as such. Each piece is handcrafted in New York using materials such as solid sterling silver, ceramic,, hand-placed Czech crystals, brass and acrylic. Please consult our product descriptions online for information on specific materials. Avoid contact with direct sunlight, water, hand sanitizer, lotions and other liquids and be extra careful not to drop your jewelry.

Please follow these guidelines to avoid issues, and as with all jewelry, know your individual skin's sensitivities and allergies.

Water: Do NOT submerge your Dollchunk jewelry pieces in water. Do not shower or swim in them. Silver and other metals may rust or become tarnished. Remember to remove your Dollchunk before washing your hands, showering/bathing, and swimming. If your Dollchunk jewelry becomes wet, allow it to dry thoroughly before wearing again.

Chemicals: Avoid exposing your Dollchunk jewelry to harsh chemicals and cleaning products. This includes hand sanitizers, lotions, oils, perfume, hair spray, cleaning solutions, nail polish remover, and any similar products. These and other solvent chemicals will react to silvers, metals and other materials, which may cause degradation, and in some cases, may result in skin irritation or allergic reactions.

Sunlight/UV Rays: Store your Dollchunk jewelry out of direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause discoloration and degradation. This includes UV exposure during gel and acrylic nail treatments as well as other types of UV light exposure.

Cleaning: Given jewelry is worn in close contact with your skin for prolonged periods of time, it's important to keep your Dollchunk jewelry clean so that oil, dirt, bacteria or other irritants won't build up on your jewelry. This is especially true with rings, which are in direct contact with your skin. We recommend using warm water, a mild dish detergent and a soft cloth to gently clean your Dollchunk jewelry on a frequent basis. Always allow it to dry thoroughly before continuing use.

We also understand that accidents happen. If needed, we will repair your item one time, within one year of your purchase, complimentary at our Doll Hospital. After one year of your purchase date, or if you have subsequent repair needs, we will repair your item as determined on a case-by-case basis with shipping costs and repair costs paid by the customer. Please contact us at customerservice@dollchunk.com.
