Antique Victorian Chalcedony Brooch Seed Pearls 15K Gold Heart Shaped c.1890

About the Item

We are delighted to offer this sensational antique Victorian 15ct gold Chalcedony Brooch made c.1890. Fitted in its original antique case/box (included in the price), upon opening a most endearing and eye-catching green Chalcedony heart cabochon sits inside. The bar brooch features a wonderful central heart-shaped section with a bow ribbon on top and a cluster of seed pearls surrounding the central heart. On either side, two larger seed pears accent the edges and draw the eyes to the centre of the brooch. Distinctly Victorian and displaying all the signs of fine antique jewellery goldsmithing, this brooch is meticulously made. Each claw, mount and finely shaped setting are impressively fine and intricate; a testament to the goldsmith's skill and craftsmanship of the period. On the reverse side, a C-clasp pin is present: this brooch would most certainly grace a jumper/jacket in the colder seasons and a blouse in the warmer months. Overall, a superb and exemplary piece of enchanting Victorian jewellery, whether as a gift or for a personal collection, this is one of those pieces bound to be a conversation starter and a delightful way to express your passion for fine antiques, design and jewellery. The brooch is unmarked as is common with articles of the period and as such we have fully tested for 15ct gold. All of our jewellery comes with a complimentary hard shell gift box with a velvet interior. Size & Total Weight 3.2x1.5cm 4.04g /0.13 troy oz Condition: Great antique condition with no issues/damage.

  • Diamond & Chalcedony Flower Brooch Translucent 15k Gold Floral Design
    Located in London, GB
    We are delighted to offer this delightfully artistic 15ct gold diamond and chalcedony bar brooch made c.1929. Captivating upon first glance, this brooch features a spectacular hand-carved chalcedony flower in the centre which has been meticulously engraved, presenting a life-like naturalistic design with a 'tiered' petal design. Furthermore, the gemstone's colour, opacity and fitness are wonderfully intricate with the carved flower being translucent and letting light through. Depending on the weather, lighting and what is worn behind, the chalcedony's lustre varies and the translucency truly captivates the delicate and lively attributes of floral and natural beauty. To complete the look, a sparkly single diamond is stylishly mounted in the centre of the petals, contrasting the overall colour and drawing the viewer's eyes to the centre of the brooch. The brooch setting is made from 15ct solid yellow gold and the pin is made from 9ct solid gold. An absolutely delightful piece of naturalistic and skillfully crafted jewellery ideal for the discerning gem lover, particularly of embellished stones. Further, upon wearing it with light and floral clothing, we believe it is a perfect match and a statement piece in its own right. The brooch is marked 15ct/9ct on their respective parts. This brooch comes with its original fitted box as photographed in the images. Size & Total Weight 5x1cm 2.47g /0.08 oz t Condition: Excellent vintage condition with no issues.

  • Antique Victorian Diamond and Ruby 15K Gold Cockerel/Rooster/Chicken Brooch Pin
    Located in London, GB
    We are delighted to offer this endearing and adorable antique Victorian brooch made c.1890. The brooch is fitted in a period box and we will include this in the price of this listing. This pin brooch is made in 15ct solid gold and features an intricate gem set cockerel head with old rose cut diamonds and a single ruby cabochon as its eye. The head is made and set in solid silver to enhance the diamonds' white shine and lustre. Whilst undeniably sweet and dainty, the craftsmanship is superb and very impressive - due to its small size, it can only be further appreciated upon seeing how detailed each element is with a loupe or magnifying glass. The accuracy and lifelike shape of the head despite its small size is a testament to the silversmithing and the manner in which all the gems have been set as if to replicate feathers is certainly an artistic virtuosity. Furthermore, the wattle of the cockerel features a very small yet accenting orange/red enamel that contrasts and completes the entire look. A modestly sized yet outstanding piece of fine Victorian animal jewellery...
