Old Cameo Depicting Lord Byron Romantic Poet set in pinchbeck used in Victorian times and called the 'poor man's' Gold. It does not tarnish and has a very ornate Design. The Cameo is signed on the back though I cannot read the signature it is scratched into the shell brooch is 2 5/8 inches long and 2 3/8 inches wide clasp is an s. The pin is nice and tight. Lord Byron died in 1843. (The secret composition of pinchbeck gold has not been discovered)
