Victorian 18K Gold Etruscan Revival Pearl & Blue Enamel Brooch & Earrings Set

About the Item

A Victorian suite of jewellery, comprising a brooch and a pair of earrings, each set with a seed pearl, with enamel detailing, in 18 karat yellow gold, with 9 karat yellow gold fittings (brooch pin and ear hooks). This striking antique jewellery suite is truly beautiful to behold, made even more special by the fact that each piece has survived, and is still presented in its original purple velvet and blue satin lined fitted case. The brooch is set to the centre with a shimmering seed pearl. The pearl is set to the centre of an 8-pointed star, which is surrounded by a border of cobalt blue enamel. The star sits at the centre of an oval shaped panel, which is surrounded by borders of twisted rope. The lozenge shaped brooch is adorned with beading and glorious twisted rope wirework, creating a gorgeous Etruscan revival brooch. The brooch is fitted with a yellow gold pin and C-shaped clasp and is complete with a glass locket back, which can be removed and filled with the contents of your desire. The earrings are of matching design, topped with a large bead and scrolling arms, to which the ear hook attaches, giving the earrings the look of an amphora, which was a popular design during this period. The earrings are fitted with beaded yellow gold ear hooks, which are more modern additions, but work well with the suite. This suite of jewellery has a bloomed gold finish, resulting in a fine layer of pure gold at the surface of the jewellery, giving a soft, matte effect. The suite is in great condition. Wear and tear acquiescent with age. Brooch: The brooch measures 41mm wide, 30mm high, and 14mm deep (excluding pin and fittings). Seed pearl size, estimated: 2.5mm Earrings: The earrings measure 42mm long, 17mm wide, and 8mm deep. Seed pearl size, estimated: 1.5mm Gross weight: 14.27g Hallmarks: lozenge shaped registration mark, stamped for 20th June 1872, tests as 18 karat yellow gold, and brooch pin and ear hooks 9 karat yellow gold

  • Victorian Etruscan Style 18K Gold 13ct Amethyst, Pearl & Black Enamel Bangle
    Located in Staines-Upon-Thames, GB
    An antique gold, amethyst, pearl and enamel bracelet set with a cabochon amethyst, one seed pearl and adorned with black enamel, crafted from 18 karat yellow gold. The high domed amethyst cabochon is a beautiful lilac hue, which appears as a deep, luxurious, purplish red when viewed from certain angles, due to the foil backing on the stone. The amethyst has been adorned with a pale, lustrous pearl, set within a gold star. Surrounding the amethyst are concentric circles, of Etruscan design, which was at the height of fashion during the mid Victorian era. Twisted rope motifs, beading and a ring of black enamel adorn the centrepiece of this bracelet. The black enamel is in incredible condition for the age of the piece. The bracelet is further engraved with an intricate fan motif. The bracelet is hinged and is secured with a study clasp. The bracelet is in good condition, with some dings and scratches, which are mainly situated at the back of the bracelet. Wear and tear acquiescent with age. The most intriguing thing about this bracelet, is that the circular portion which holds the amethyst, can be undone from the bracelet. It is secured with a screw, and the circular panel can be unscrewed and removed. It may be possible that this bracelet was originally been part of a set (possibly containing a brooch fitting and a pendant necklace fitting, as well as the bracelet fitting). The amethyst could have been attached to any of these fittings, to create a multi-functional piece of jewellery. Engineering such as this, was key in the Victorian era, and much of the convertible jewellery...
