Rare Antique Victorian Faith Hope & Charity Brooch

A lovely unusual and rare brooch from the Victorian period FAITH HOPE AND CHARITY with the symbols of the cross, heart, and anchor. So poignant. Was it a love token do you think ? Recently arrived from USA. Overall dimension is substantial at 7cms across and 3cms at widest point .There is a little wear mainly to the back,  commensurate with its over 100 year age, but nothing that detracts from its special beauty.  Gift boxed by Vintageonline.
