A jewel of devotion and Victorian ingenuity, this extraordinary 18ct gold brooch-pendant dates to around 1880 and offers both versatility and splendour. Designed with a discreet hinged loop, it may be worn as a pendant or brooch, depending on one’s mood or neckline.

At its heart lies a luminous natural pearl, the symbol of purity and wisdom, encircled by four velvety royal blue sapphires likely of Burmese origin each echoing the deep hues so prized in the 19th century. In the Victorian era, sapphires were considered emblems of fidelity, sincerity, and constancy often given to express enduring love or noble intentions.

A constellation of old mine cut and rose cut diamonds adds fire and brilliance throughout, while the pearls and floral flourishes around the outer edge soften the grandeur with naturalistic charm. A beautifully balanced composition, and a striking piece of high Victorian jewellery. A real heirloom.
