Brooch - 18 kt. Yellow gold - Pearl - Swiss flower bouquet brooch

Offered is an exceptionally beautiful and substantial masterpiece of Swiss origin from the late 19th century (circa 1890–1900). This antique brooch is designed as a finely detailed, naturalistic flowering branch. The branches are endowed with a gorgeous, organic texture that testifies to superior goldsmith craftsmanship. The jewel is richly set with deep-purple, jewel-pure amethysts in various cut forms. The flower heads are formed by six oval faceted amethysts, each elegantly surrounded by a wreath of gleaming, authentic pearls. The leaves on the branches are subtly embellished with marquise- and pear-cut amethysts, providing splendid light reflection and dynamism. On the reverse side lies the original and perfectly functioning trombone clasp (the characteristic push-pull sliding mechanism), the hallmark of authentic, high-quality European jewelry from this specific period. The brooch also clearly bears the gold hallmark 750, indicating 18-karat solid gold. With an impressive total weight of 27.32 grams and generous dimensions, this is not only a magnificent historic piece to wear but also a sound investment for the serious collector.
