Antique Opal Diamond Sapphire Silver Set Butterfly Pendant/Brooch Circa 1880
Located in Jesmond, Newcastle Upon Tyne
A stunning, fine and impressive antique 1.91 Carat opal, 0.88 Carat diamond and 0.54 Carat sapphire, silver set butterfly brooch; part of our antique jewelry and estate jewelry collections. This stunning, fine and impressive antique pendant/brooch has been crafted in yellow metal and silver. The pendant brooch has been modelled in the form of a butterfly. The pierced decorated forewings are embellished with three cabochon cut opals to the outer margins. The shaped basal's of the forewings, and shaped sub margins of the hindwings are ornamented with further individually set cabochon cut opals. The pierced decorated wings are embellished with a total of twenty-four diamonds, in a combination of mine and Dutch cuts. The butterfly's thorax is accented with a claw set round faceted cut sapphire, surmounted with two further sapphires representing the eyes. The abdomen displays three impressive claw set cabochon cut opals, graduating in size. The pendant suspends from a contemporary 18k yellow gold 18" curb chain via an integrated ring loop, securing to the reverse with a conventional spring-loaded bolt ring. This versatile pendant may also be worn as a brooch, via a detachable hinged pin and C shaped clasp fastening to the reverse of the setting. This impressive antique butterfly pendant has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as silver. This stunning Victorian brooch is supplied with an independent diamond and gemstone grading report card. This combination of gemstones is rare for this style of brooch; this, in addition to the detachable brooch fitment, indicates the high quality of the piece. 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. Condition This impressive butterfly brooch is excellent quality, with impressive opals displaying a scintillating play of color. The impressive sapphires display a fine color, brilliance, and presence. The well color matched diamonds display a fine white color and brilliance. This type of brooch / pendant has a classic antique appearance, and as such cannot be brightened. The brooch is an excellent gauge of silver and is in excellent condition. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this impressive Victorian 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.
