Victorian Pearl and Ruby Peacock Brooch/Pendant
About the Item
A Victorian pearl and ruby peacock brooch/pendant, in the form of a peacock with its tail fanned, set with one hundred-eighteen pearls, and a ruby-set eye, all mounted in 18ct gold and silver, with detachable pendant bail, circa 1880, measuring approximately 4.5 x 3.2cm, gross weight 12.7 grams.
This brooch is in excellent condition. Unmarked, tested as 18ct gold and silver.
This charming Victorian peacock brooch pendant was made in around 1880 and comes from the collection of Bentley & Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Peacocks have been popular symbols of wealth and luxury for centuries but were popularized in Victorian Britain by the textile designer William Morris, who designed a peacock-printed wallpaper in 1878. This resplendent peacock pendant is made from 18ct yellow gold and set throughout with shimmering, gleaming pearls. The eyes of the peacock are bright and glinting rubies. This piece can also be worn as a brooch, making it a versatile piece.
Should you choose to make this purchase we would be delighted to send it to you in a Bentley & Skinner handmade leather case packed in a gift-wrapped Bentley & Skinner black and gold presentation box. Shortly afterwards we will send you on a valuation for insurance purposes for your reference and safekeeping.

- Antique Butterfly Rose Cut Diamond Ruby Pearl Pendant Brooch Necklace VictorianLocated in New York, NYThis is a spectacular antique Victorian - Belle Epoque Butterfly Pendant or Brooch set throughout with Rose Cut Diamonds, Pearls and Rubies in a gorgeous open work design in Silver atop 14 Karat Yellow Gold. This is one of the most beautiful Butterfly Insect jewels we have seen. The Butterfly has a detachable brooch pin on the reverse which can be easily unscrewed to convert the jewel to a pendant necklace. The Butterfly is set throughout its wings with Rose Cut Diamonds. Each diamond is set within its own open work section. The sections are then combined into a fully three dimensional butterfly with exquisite craftsmanship and artistry. In the center of the body are four stunning silvery white pearls which may be natural. The eyes of the insect are two round Ruby cabochons. The diamonds and pearls are set in silver as was the custom of the period in order to show off the diamonds to greater brilliance. The butterfly wings are masterworks of jewelry making and diamond setting. The extraordinary jewels are all set "a jour" - open backed - so that the light is allowed to filter through the gems and make them sparkle with the wonderful quality we love in the antique jewels. This whimsical butterfly dances delightfully around the neck or across the body and creates a conversation piece to be passed on for generations. And insect inspired jewels are all the rage today. And here we have the magnificent butterfly with the exquisite gems and delicate design - how rare! The Victorians were absolutely enamored with nature and insects and created jewels as well as sculptures of the fascinating creatures. These antique butterfly gems...Category
