Antique Victorian Turquoise Enamel with Coral and Pearl Gold Brooch
About the Item
This antique Victorian brooch is a remarkable piece of jewelry that beautifully captures the elegance and intricate craftsmanship of the era, blending various elements to create a piece that is both ornate and rich in historical significance.
The brooch is oval in shape, meticulously crafted from 14 karat gold, which has taken on a warm, rich patina over the years, enhancing its antique allure. At the heart of the brooch is a vibrant turquoise enamel, which serves as the centerpiece and adds a vivid splash of color. This turquoise enamel is smooth and lustrous, providing a striking backdrop for the other decorative elements.
Set within the turquoise enamel are four pink coral cabochons, arranged symmetrically to form a cross-like pattern. These coral cabochons have a soft, rosy hue, their polished surfaces contrasting beautifully with the turquoise beneath them. The coral’s natural color adds a delicate and feminine touch to the brooch, making it visually captivating.
In the central of the turquoise enamel are five small seed pearls, evenly spaced along the inner edge of the brooch. The pearls are petite and lustrous, each one carefully set to enhance the brooch's overall design. Their creamy white sheen provides a subtle contrast against the vibrant turquoise and the pink coral, adding a touch of sophistication and refinement.
The gold setting of the brooch is adorned with intricate rope motifs and granulation, reflecting the Etruscan Revival style that was popular during the Victorian era. The rope motif encircles the central design, adding texture and a sense of continuity to the piece. Granulation, a technique involving tiny gold beads, is meticulously applied to enhance the overall design, creating a delicate and elaborate texture that showcases the high level of craftsmanship involved.
This brooch is secured with a traditional pin and "C" clasp closure, typical of the Victorian period, ensuring it stays securely in place when worn.
