Mizpah brooches were among the most popular sentimental jewels of the Victorian era, exchanged between loved ones as tokens of connection and remembrance — the word derives from a Hebrew blessing meaning \"may the Lord watch between you and me when we are apart.\" This example is a particularly well-made specimen, the lettering crisp and the engraving confident.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe brooch carries full Birmingham hallmarks dated 1888 and is in excellent condition throughout. A highly collectible piece of Victorian sentimental jewellery with strong appeal to collectors and wearers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMetal: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHallmarks: Full Birmingham hallmarks, 1888\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOrigin: Birmingham, UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eEra: Victorian, 1888\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDesign: Raised \"MIZPAH\" lettering, engraved foliate decoration, ball terminal border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDimensions: 18mm x 41mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWeight: 3.49g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCondition: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Silver","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64944025239901,"sku":"SAO371","price":105.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0887\/0471\/3053\/files\/20-01-26-3013copy.jpg?v=1781693984","url":"https:\/\/www.spectrumantiques.com\/products\/antique-silver-mizpah-brooch-birmingham-1888","provider":"Spectrum Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
