Out of stock
Turquoise jewellery was popular during most of the 19th and early 20th centuries. This delightful floppy bow brooch was made in about 1845.
Importantly, it retains its original pendant drop. As they are usually detachable it is rare to find them still together.
Chrysoberyls are the secondary gemstone, offering an unusual and appealing combination.
The high-carat gold is exquisitely engraved to resemble patterned silk damask, completing the ribbon-like appearance.
It’s a good size too at just under 2 1/4 inches long.
