Antique 9ct Gold Amethyst & Seed Pearl Brooch

​A Piece of History: Antique 9ct Gold Amethyst & Seed Pearl Brooch ​Adorn your collection with this magnificent Antique Bar Brooch (or bar pin), a delicate piece of history dating from the late Victorian or early Edwardian era (circa 1890-1910). This highly sought-after style of Brooch was a fashionable accessory of the time, often used to secure a high-necked collar or pinned elegantly to a lapel. ​Design and Symbolism ​The Stone of Royalty: The focal point is a beautiful, multifaceted, deep violet-purple Amethyst gemstone. Amethyst was historically prized and is the birthstone for February. ​Delicate Accents: The central amethyst is beautifully framed by intricate gold scrollwork and accented with luminous, tiny Seed Pearls, which are often set in charming floral or foliate motifs. Seed pearls were immensely popular in Victorian jewellery, symbolizing purity and modesty. ​Craftsmanship: The piece is crafted from a rich gold (likely 9-carat gold), showcasing the intricate, high-quality workmanship typical of this sentimental period. The setting has a classic "open-back" to allow the light to shine through the amethyst, maximizing its colour. ​This brooch is a beautiful example of antique sentimental jewellery, representing an enduring piece of heritage and is in wonderful, ready-to-wear condition.
