15ct Gold Etruscan Revival Victorian Era Brooch with Sapphire and Diamond

Description

A beautifully preserved example of Victorian craftsmanship, this antique brooch captures the romance and artistry of the Etruscan Revival movement. Modelled as a graceful floral motif, the piece showcases the archaeological revival techniques that defined the era.. which are: fine mill-grain detailing and delicate braided gold wirework, executed with the kind of attention to detail rarely seen in modern manufacture.

At its heart sits a beautiful cushion cut blue sapphire, its rich colour framed and accented by sparkling old European cut diamonds whose soft, antique facets glow under warm light. The 15ct gold setting, a distinctly British standard of the period, confirms its Victorian origins and lends the brooch a wonderful warmth of tone.

Hand crafted circa 1890, this is a genuine antique with all the character and presence of a piece that has been treasured for well over a century. A lovely addition for the collector of fine Victorian and archaeological revival jewellery, or as a striking statement piece for special occasions.
