Georgian Era Silver Brooch Pearl Diamond 9k Gold Antique Jewelry
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
A delicate silver brooch from the Georgian era, featuring a pearl, antique cut diamonds and a 9k gold pin.
Designed as a flower, the brooch has two old mine cut diamond “buds” and a pearl blooming “floret.” The leaves are encrusted with the old mine and Old European cut diamonds.
The brooch carries beautiful, nature inspired flowing lines. The contrasting dark silver background makes the pearl and diamonds pop. This pearl brooch has a distinct Georgian era’s feel that will instantly transform your outfit to a sophisticated one.
This antique brooch is made of silver with the pin made of 9 karat yellow gold. It features a teardrop shaped creamy white pearl (9.8 x 7.6 x 7.7 mm), old mine, Old European and single cut diamonds (J-L color, VS clarity, approximately 2.30 carats total weight including two diamonds of 0.80-carat each).
The Georgian brooch measures 2 ¼” x 1 1/8” (5.8 x 2.9 cm) and weighs 8.1 grams.
About Georgian Jewelry:
The Georgian period, named after the reigns of the four King Georges of England (1714-1830), is a dynamic and evolving era for jewelry design. Early Georgian jewelry often reflected the Baroque and Rococo styles, with elaborate designs and intricate details. As the period progressed, the influence of Neoclassicism became more pronounced, with motifs inspired by ancient Greece and Rome becoming popular.
Jewelry from this time was typically handcrafted, as mass production techniques had not yet been developed. This means that each piece from the Georgian era is unique, with variations that reflect the individual taste of the jeweler.
Georgian jewelers employed a variety of materials. Diamonds were often set in silver, as it was believed to enhance their sparkle, while colored gemstones were typically set in gold. The use of paste, a type of leaded glass, was also common for simulating the appearance of precious stones.
Designs were rich and varied, as cultural influences of the time came from symbolism and nature. For example, anchors representing hope or snakes symbolizing eternity. Cameos and intaglios, with carved gemstones or shells, were highly prized. Girandole earrings featuring a central element with three dangling components came from the Georgian era.
Jewelry in that time was often designed for specific occasions. For instance, mourning jewelry was crafted to commemorate loved ones, featuring somber designs and materials like jet or black enamel. Such gifts as sentimental jewelry, with lover’s eye miniatures or lockets containing hair, were widely popular.
We love Georgian jewelry due to its rarity and the craftsmanship it represents. Its designs provide a glimpse into the fashion and culture of 18th and early 19th-century Europe.
About Pearl Jewelry:
Pearls have a special place in jewelry design. These organic gems have always been associated with a classy, refined style. Today wearing pearls means having a great taste and the ability to see its beauty.

Victorian Dove Bird Swallow Ruby Pearl Peace Pendant Necklace Gold Laurel Wreath
Located in New York, NY
This is a gorgeous antique Victorian Dove Swallow Bird of Peace Pendant Necklace adorned with a Pearl in it its mouth, a Ruby eye, and seed pearls throughout creating the white feathers of the dove. The lavaliere pendant has an extraordinary three-dimensional design of a flying dove bird carrying the pearl offering of peace in its mouth set within a laurel wreath motif in 10 Karat Gold. The eye of the bird is a lovely Ruby cabochon. The laurel wreath has stunning gold work with wonderful details of the individual leaves.
During the Victorian period jewelry with images of birds was given to lovers to signify constancy over time. The swallow is symbolic of peace, cheerfulness and free spirit. The Dove is symbolic of peace. The work is exquisite with elegant pearls creating the feathers of the bird, the ruby eye and the three dimensional flowing design of the flying bird. The bird holds a pearl in its beak. The piece is one of the most beautiful antique animal, bird motif jewels we have seen. It is antique and dates to the Belle Epoque, Victorian period. The romantic bird pendant dances delightfully around the neck and creates a conversation piece to be passed on for generations. Animal and bird inspired jewels are all the rage today and finding one with so much romance is just a dream. The pendant dates to circa 1850 - 1900.
