A late-Victorian vulcanite brooch, depicting Greek goddess Hera.

This brooch, made of vulcanite, also known as India rubber, was favored for its durability and easy to process compared to jet. This brooch depicts Hera, queen of gods, wife of Zeus, God of marriage, childbirth and family, known for her beauty and jealousy.

维多利亚晚期硫化橡胶胸针，描绘了希腊女神赫拉。

维多利亚晚期，黑色珠宝与吊唁之间的关联逐渐减弱。煤玉，玛瑙，和黑色玻璃制作的珠宝转而成为一种新的时尚。

这枚胸针由硫化橡胶制成。硫化橡胶从橡胶树中提取加工，又被称为印度橡胶。其与煤玉相比更易加工且不易损坏，因此受到当时人们的青睐。胸针描绘了女神赫拉，她是众神之后、宙斯的妻子，被称为婚姻、分娩和家庭之神，以其美丽和嫉妒心而闻名。
