Beautiful silver brooch
I think its Victorian!!!!!!!

I was Using the dfx with the dd coil, it was only 5” down but in-between a lot of trash and iron. How it never got damaged I’ll never know.
As you can see this Silver brooch is very delicately made the workmanship is superb.
I’m sure the Victorian lady who lost it must have been As sad as I was happy finding it.

Can anyone give me any more info on it?

Annular brooch
Thanks go to the British Museum
for identifying this 13-century Brooch fragment.

Angie found the small fragment sometime back but we were
never quite sure if it was an annular brooch or not.

this is what it may have looked like when it was complete
I have added some white glass stones
but the stones could have been any colure

Saint Christopher

Saint Christopher “Christ bearer”
3rd century legend has it that one day when he was carrying
a little child over a river; he felt the child's
weight almost too great to bear. The child was Jesus, carrying
the world in his hands. Hence St. Christopher
is usually represented as a giant, with the Holy Child
on his shoulder; he leans on a staff. He is the patron of
travellers, hence the practice of wearing his medal on journeys.
His name was dropped from the liturgical
calendar in 1969. Feast: July 25.
