Stunning, antique pieces like this are becoming harder and harder to find, a true once in lifetime treasure! This brooch bears some of the classic hallmarks of Victorian-era jewelry. The piece exhibits incredible, ornate metalwork and antique hand-faceted rose and old mine cut diamonds, both true characteristics of Victorian-era jewelry that can only be achieved through hand fabrication. Before the advent of white gold in the 1920s, the white metals of choice were platinum and sterling silver. Far more affordable and easier to work, silver was frequently worked with fine diamonds and gems during this period, in a way that rarely occurs in modern times!
