Victorian Era 18k Gold Natural Seed Pearls Angel Brooch
About the Item
Some of the most endearing antique jewelry of every era feature little winged beings. Angels, or cherubs, embody sacred love, and may be understood as guardians. On the other hand, enameled jewelry is among the most researched jewelry items in the eyes of the antique jewelry collectors because it offers an almost infinite combination of craftsmanship and artistry across different themes and styles.
In front of us a very refined French work Victorian era enameled brooch, featuring a loving winged angel/cherub (a charming, chubby child with wings). We love his mischievous yet very sweet smile, colorful touch of grace, the extreme attention to the details as well as its symbolism: It is a well-known secret language for love, courage and guidance in the Victorian era. The colors used in the enamel show softness and tenderness: the mix of the pastel tones such as rose, blue and green is calming while heartwarming.
We also appreciate the elegant mounting of this piece: the central panel is mounted in a 18K gold floral frame, decorated with natural seed pearls. The whole piece is very elegant and resembles an oil painting in our eyes!
It will be a lovely and symbolic gift to offer or to receive at the end of this year!
Measurements and Condition
In overall good antique condition align with its age. No missing or choc on the enamel panel. Slight traces of use.
French eagle’s head for 18K gold as well as a maker’s mark on the C-catch of the brooch on the back.

The brooch is mounted in 18K yellow gold and it is stamped with the French owl hallmark for 18K gold. Arrows have been used in sentimental jewelry for centuries and have had various symbolic meanings over time. In the Victorian era, arrows were associated with sentimentality and affection. Arrows were often incorporated into jewelry pieces, such as brooches and lockets, as a symbol of devotion and fidelity. They were also used in jewelry to signify direction, pointing the wearer towards their true love or guiding them through the journey of life.
