    VICTORIAN antique Whitby jet and Gypsy boy portrait brooch and earrings setThese plaques were often done in Austria and sent to Whitby, England, to be mounted in jet for jewelry. They show a young Tyrolean boy, also called the "gypsy boy" or "green boy". The brooch is 2-1/3 by 2" and the earrings for pierced ears are a total length of 2-1/4" including the wires. There is some crazing and one crack on back of the earrings on the jet part only, but it does look stable. For a similar piece see page 32 in Helen Muller's book "Jet Jewellery and Ornaments", a wonderful book for jet jewelry lovers.
