Gubelin, Lucerne Circa 1920 In Asian mythology, the dragon represents the principle of heaven, prestige and power. It is associated with the Chinese Imperial family.

Gubelin is known for its exquisite high-end jewellery, gemstone expertise and discerning clientele. The house celebrates 160 years in business in 2024 and 2024 is the Year of the Dragon. The open-work case of the pendant lapel watch features approximately 1.50 TCW of full-cut and single-cut diamonds with black enamel accents, suspended from a horizontal diamond bar brooch.

From 1880 until 1917 the business traded as Charles Packer & Co and then as Charles Packer & Co Ltd until c. 1932. Charles Packer was the major London supplier of mourning costume and accessories in the second half of the 19th century (Queen Victoria's reign) and a Charles Packer jewelry set is on display at the British Museum in London.

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.
