Between each leaf and scrolled sections, varying sizes of old cut diamonds have been set with an additional 4 sapphires to accent the overall aesthetic. Ideal as a gift to someone special or as an indulgent treat for yourself, the versatile size and modest colour scheme of the brooch lends itself to many styles. Whether it be to wear with a blouse or jumper or perhaps on a lapel in the cooler months, this brooch is a wonderful accoutrement to display your passion for fine antique jewellery. A very special gift for someone or as an indulgent addition for the discerning antique jewellery lover. This brooch is exemplary of the creative and meticulous Victorian jewellery making and is a wonderful way to display your passion for distinguished antiques, history and style. Sapphire is known to be the birthstone for September and diamonds for April. The brooch is unmarked, as is common with articles of this period and as such, we have tested it, indicating 9ct gold, with a silver front. Please note the pin is not gold. All of our jewellery come with a complimentary hard shell gift box with a velvet interior.
