Antique 3.88Ct Diamond and Emerald 9k Yellow Gold Butterfly Brooch, Circa 1910
Located in Jesmond, Newcastle Upon Tyne
A stunning, fine and impressive antique 3.88 carat diamond and 0.04 carat emerald, 9 karat yellow gold and silver set butterfly brooch; part of our antique jewelry collections. This stunning, fine and impressive antique brooch has been crafted in 9k yellow gold with a silver setting. The antique brooch has been modelled in the form of a butterfly. The abdomen of the butterfly is embellished with an Old European cut diamond, in subtle relief to the remaining thorax. The thorax incorporates four further pavé set diamonds, graduating in size dependant on location. The head of the butterfly displays a silver pavé set Old European cut diamond and incorporates yellow gold collet set 0.04ct round faceted cut emeralds representing the eyes and tips to the antennae. The pierced decorated, extended wings are embellished with a total of forty-eight Old European cut diamonds, completing the design. The brooch is fitted with a tremblant setting, allowing for realistic movement of the butterfly; this is a fine feature and indicates the high quality of the piece. This antique brooch secures to the reverse with a hinged pin and security clasp. The insect brooch is supplied with an independent diamond and gemstone grading report card. This antique brooch has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 9k gold and silver. "Rather than regarding inclusions in colored stones as harmful, in small sizes and numbers that do not in any way detract from their beauty, they should be regarded as adding to desirability, for they provide identifying characteristics." Reference: The Connoisseur's Guide to Precious Gemstones, R.Wise, Brunswick House Press. Images do not always reflect the true color and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual color and showcases each stone in this antique butterfly brooch...

Antique and Vintage Brooches

Antique and vintage brooches, which are decorative jewels traditionally pinned to garments and used to fasten pieces of clothing together where needed, have seen increasing popularity in recent years.

Given their long history, brooches have expectedly taken on a variety of different shapes and forms over time, with jewelers turning to assorted methods of ornamentation for these accessories, including enameling and the integration of pearls and gemstones.

Cameo brooches that originated during the Victorian age are characterized by a shell carved in raised relief that feature portraits of a woman’s profile, while 19th-century micromosaic brooches, comprising innumerable individually placed glass fragments, sometimes feature miniature depictions of a pastoral scene in daily Roman life.

At one time, brooches were symbols of wealth, made primarily from the finest metals and showcasing exquisite precious gemstones. Today, these jewels are inclusive and universal, and you don’t have to travel very far to find an admirer of brooches. They can be richly geometric in form, such as the ornate diamond pins dating from the Art Deco era, or designer-specific, such as the celebrated naturalistic works created by Tiffany & Co., the milk glass and gold confections crafted by Trifari or handmade vintage Chanel brooches of silk or laminated sheer fabric.

Brooches are versatile and adaptable. These decorative accessories can be worn in your hair, on hats, scarves and on the lower point of V-neck clothing. Pin a dazzling brooch to the lapel of your blazer-and-tee combo or add a cluster of smaller pins to your overcoat. And while brooches have their place in “mourning jewelry,” in that a mourning brooch is representative of your connection to a lost loved one, they’re widely seen as romantic and symbolic of love, so much so that a hardcore brooch enthusiast might advocate for brooches to be worn over the heart.

Today, find a wide variety of antique and vintage brooches on 1stDibs, including gold brooches, sapphire brooches and more.
