Description
4.54*4.cm Wt:8.43g
Antique brooch of the Victorian period, modelled as a double-bow and crafted in 20-carat gold. The metalwork is finely chased with scrolling foliate motifs. A smaller, freely-swinging bow element is suspended below the main upper bow. Each bow lobe is set with plump cabochon turquoise stones of rich, vivid blue colour. Comes with a gemmological certificate for the turquoise. The bow is a quintessential jewellery motif of the Victorian era. This well-crafted jewel exemplifies European goldsmithing art of the 19th-century.
