Until not so long ago, brooches were an indispensable piece of jewellery. Around 1950, no lady would have left the house without a brooch, because a dress was not complete without one. How and where the brooch was worn on clothing changed according to the respective fashions. In the 1880s, brooches with coloured gemstones were particularly popular, as they could be worn alongside the bold colors of clothing. This piece of jewellery comes from this environment and has a transverse oval shape. A faceted amethyst shines in the middle in a violet colour reminiscent of blooming lavender fields. With its leaf ornaments and C-sweeps, the framing shows the formal language of historicism. Fine natural pearls accompany the gemstone and enrich the piece of jewellery with their creamy white shimmer. The brooch is made from the typical British alloy of fifteen-carat gold (corresponding to a fineness of 625/000). This alloy is found in many Victorian and Edwardian pieces of jewellery, but was only used until 1932. The brooch came to us from England. It is beautifully preserved and a wonderful splash of colour for many occasions.
