About the Item

A Victorian pearl, enamel, and yellow gold brooch, comprising one round pearl, and white enamel accents, in 14 karat yellow gold. This outstanding Victorian brooch is set to the centre with a shimmering pearl. The pearl is pale and lustrous. The pearl sits at the centre of a concave brooch, and is surrounded by gold granulated beads, and enamel filled wirework, elegant scrolling motifs are either side of the pearl, complete with further granulation. Twisted rope wirework, of various gauges, surrounds this central section, which is further accented by larger granulated beads. White enamel filled teardrop shapes follow, with further twisted rope wirework. The brooch culminates in a chunkier, twisted rope design, with both smooth, plain gold and twisted wire alike. The brooch sports a bloomed gold finish, where the piece of jewellery is dipped in a solution which dissolves the alloys in the gold, leaving a fine layer of pure gold, which gives a supremely luxurious finish. The brooch is complete with C-shaped catch, and hinged pin. The brooch is in good condition, with one area of enamel having tiny bubbles present, and an area verso where brooch has previously been filed to acid test for gold (though not by myself). Wear and tear acquiescent with age. This brooch was made by Harry Emanuel and sports an applied plaque with his ‘HE’ makers mark, and ‘Patent No. 1779’. Harry Emanuel was revered for his enamel work, and was a renowned jewellery designer, active between 1855 and 1873. His work appeared at the 1862 International Exhibition, and the 1867 Paris Exhibition. The brooch measures 39.5mm long, 39.5mm wide, and 7mm deep (excluding pin and fittings). Pearl size, estimated: 6.1mm Gross weight: 14.1g Hallmarks: none, tests as approximately 14 karat gold, circa 1870
