DESCRIPTION

A magnificent Early Victorian brooch (c.1840s) crafted in rich 15ct gold, displaying exquisite repoussé goldwork, detailed hand-engraving, and the classic drop-pendant silhouette of the period.

The piece features six natural garnets in deep, glowing red tones paired with seven natural chrysoberyls in bright, clear greenish-yellow hues. This contrast of colours is striking and quintessentially Victorian. Each gemstone is old hand-cut, full of life and sparkle under natural light.

With its sculptural layered form, elegant movement, and superb craftsmanship, this brooch embodies the romance and artistry of the 1840s. A truly collectible piece of early Victorian jewellery.
