Antique Brooch with Turquoises and Pearls in Gold, British, c. 1890s

Every country and every era has its own fashions, which sometimes differ more, sometimes less from those of other countries and eras. In Great Britain - perhaps favored by its insularity - we find several very unique fashions in the 19th century that we cannot observe in mainland Europe. One of these passions was the love of jewellery made of warm, glowing yellow gold, set with real, small pearls and colored stones - a very beautiful example of this can be seen here. A gold flower is set with pearls and turquoises. The color of the turquoise - the shade of forget-me-not - and the pure white of the pearls complement each other wonderfully. The yellow gold tone adds a warm undertone. The graceful piece of jewelry can be worn as a brooch using a pin on the back. The flower, whose materials quietly sing the song of love (forget-me-not-colored turquoises were considered stones of love in the 19th century, as was the pearl), is in first-class condition. We discovered it in London.
