14kt.
yellow gold BROOCH with exquisite French blue enamel showing cut away gold
work embellished by small seed pearls. This 3 dimensional brooch is fine in all
its details. The horizontal blue enamel plaque rests atop an octagonal gold
piece decorated with gold festooning. The piece rests on a 3rd. gold plaque
layer with black enameling. Round and pear shaped lapis drops finish this brooch
to perfection. This item is fluid despite the traditional Victorian look. The
back is open and possibly contained a frame for holding hair or another treasure
and has a chatelaine loop. The pin stem is silver and has been replaced, but
otherwise the piece is in excellent condition. It is 1-1/2" wide and
1-1/2" tall including the ball drop. A very interesting piece which
includes a variety of design elements from the Victorian period, probably a
custom made item...there will be no others like this one
