Antique Victorian 15K Yellow Gold Turquoise Lovers Knot Memorial Locket Brooch

About the Item

A yellow gold and turquoise brooch, comprising fourteen turquoise cabochons, set in 15 karat yellow gold, with three swagged lengths of chain and a locket compartment, and fittings in 15 karat yellow gold. This stunning brooch is beautiful in its Victorian design. Fashioned as a knot, there are delicate feather-like details across the piece. The brooch is set with vibrant turquoise cabochons, which have been bezel set and contrast wonderfully with the warm tone of the yellow gold. Swags of wheat-link chain are suspended from the bottom of the brooch, with the third holding an oval pendant. The oval pendant is adorned with further feather-like details and 2 floral sprays and is centrally set with another turquoise cabochon. The back of the pendant is a glass covered locket, making this a memorial pendant. The brooch is fitted with a hinged pin in silver, and C-shaped safety catch in gold. The brooch is in great condition, with one chip to the bottom of the locket glass and a kink in one of the chains. Wear and tear acquiescent with age. The brooch measures 62.5mm high, 51.5mm wide, and is 11mm deep (excluding brooch fittings).
