As Above So Below Brooch

Part of our wearable Victorian mourning line, these pieces are reimagined from original mourning pieces from the 1600-1800s. These pieces are wonderful to wear for collectors who don’t want to wear the original pieces, as they are delicate. Now you can wear period style pieces, that are new. Lots of these pieces come from our personal collection, and have been remade to be shared with everyone who has the same affinity for these beautiful pieces, and history. The phrase "as above, so below" is an ancient quote to describe the idea that what happens in a higher realm or plane of existence also happens in a lower realm. It comes from an ancient piece of writing called the Emerald Tablet. It was also a common phrase used among mediums and spiritualism in the Victorian era. (think of it as another version of Memento Mori). Approx 2 inch brooch
