Figurative designs are one of the hallmarks of British jewellery of the Belle Époque. Moons, stars, hearts, wings, but also insects and animals found their way into jewellery design, as did floral motifs. Often they were even combined, so that in turn new compositions were created. The present brooch made of 15-karat gold shows itself in the form of two spread wings, which start from a central flower. The brooch is set with natural pearls, also characteristic for British jewellery of that time. According to the workmanship and materials, it was made around 1900. This romantic piece of jewellery is very well preserved. It found its way to us from London and it was probably made in England.

Natural pearls have always belonged in the cabinets of art and curiosities of the rulers of Europe. The value of natural pearls compared to cultured pearls is obvious, since they are small natural wonders, just like natural gemstones. The price of natural pearls in the years around 1900 was about the same as for diamonds of the same size, and pearls for a necklace were usually purchased individually for cost reasons and collected until a strand was gathered. The magic that comes from natural pearls is hard to put into words, but each natural pearl is different from the other and has its own luster, structure and luster. They are always wonderful unique pieces of nature - which are hard to find today.
