About the Item
An antique Victorian brooch with natural pearl
This is a beautiful bar brooch created in England during the Victorian period, back in the 1890-1900. The elegant brooch has been crafted in solid yellow gold of 14 karats with polished finish and is fitted with a hinged horizontal pin bar and a trombone security lock. This brooch is embellished with one magnificent natural saltwater pearl of 15.73 mm and four gorgeous white colorless European cut diamonds.
Natural Saltwater Pearls
They are some of the world's most highly valued and rarest types of pearls. They are formed inside oysters or other mollusks that live in the ocean, and they develop over many years as the mollusk deposits layers of nacre around an irritant such as a piece of grit. Natural saltwater pearls are highly prized for their unique colors, shapes, and luster, which can vary depending on the type of mollusk that produced them and the conditions in which they formed. The rarity of natural saltwater pearls has made them highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs, and they are often used in high-end jewelry designs. However, the demand for natural saltwater pearls has led to overfishing and the depletion of oyster populations, which has made these pearls even more rare and more expensive in recent years. Today, most pearls on the market are cultured rather than natural, and they are produced by inserting a small bead or piece of tissue into an oyster or mussel to stimulate pearl growth.
The Victorian Jewelry
This era is one of the most influenced and influential periods of antique jewelry. This period is defined by the British monarch, in this case, Alexandrina Victoria, the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, as well as the Empress of India, years 1837-1901. There are 3 sub-periods within this era. First, the early, Romantic period, which is soaked in traditions, natural motifs in gold and silver, clear stones only being worn during the day and colored gems by night. The second being the Grand or mourning period, which coincides with the death of Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert the consort, who died in December of 1861. This period included large, dark, somber, dramatic jewelry, with a lot of black onyx, jet wood, amethyst, garnet and gold. This lasted until 1880's, when the aesthetic period of jewelry began. The Late or third stage of the Victorian period, use more complex and feminine motifs, returning to the natural, including many floral and celestial designs, with more decadent gemstones, lasting until the turn of the century. The Victorian era of jewelry includes many movements found in other countries, including revivals such as the Etruscan the Roman and the Egyptian as well as the Art Nouveau, Liberty style and Arts and Crafts design movements which lead into the beginning of the twentieth century.
