Antique Victorian Brooch with Rare Accents with Heavy Rose Gold "Gold Filled". Era: Late Victorian. The History of "Gold Filled" Victorian Jewelry. Material: Tests for rose gold overlay or heavy "plate". Antique Victorian Brooch with Rare Accents with Heavy Rose Gold "Gold Filled"  Era:                Late Victorian Length:           1 3/4" Width:          1 1/4" Material:           Tests for rose gold overlay or heavy "plate" Weight:             14.5 grams Rarity: Condition:                Exquisite hand crafted detail work with rare removable center tube Some areas of rubbed off gold are present but hard to notice without a loupe. Secure, original clasp still works perfectly "  Gold Filled or "Rolled Gold" or Gold Overlay was popular in Victorian times but more work and more expense to create. Most high quality antique Victorian gold-filled pieces have the same appearance as high carat gold, and these sought after gold-filled items, can last a lifetime.  The layer of gold on gold-filled items is generally 5 to 10 times thicker than that produced by regular modern gold plating, and 15 to 25 times thicker than that produced by "gold electroplating." Why Might There Have Been A Removable Tube Decoration? Victorians loved mystery, suspense and "secret messages" to lovers and the removal of the tube could have a special significance to a loved one only beknownst to them for communicating when they suspected others may be watching.  For example removal of the bar could secretly mean "no bars!" or come on over to my sunroom when the moon is full tonight!
