19th-Century Antique Silver and Gold Brooch with a Large Aquamarine and Zirconia Stones.
A fantastic antique brooch made of solid silver and gold, adorned with a large aquamarine in the center and several zirconia stones around it. This piece of jewelry was crafted in the 19th century and has lost none of its great beauty and elegance, even though more than a hundred years have passed since it was made. The symmetry of the silver and gold scrollwork surrounding the large stone lends a beautiful balance to the brooch, which is also highly original due to its combination of metals.
As mentioned, a large, oval-shaped aquamarine with a delicate cut sparkles at the center of the brooch. The transparent blue color characteristic of this type of gemstone is exceptionally pure and crystalline in this piece. The brooch is in very good condition, although the aquamarine has a small chip on the edge that is barely noticeable. However, this detail in no way detracts from the beauty of the piece.
The silver base that forms the body of the brooch consists of delicate filigree composed of curved scrolls. Arranged symmetrically in the shape of a cross, the four gold pieces lend their warm luster to the ensemble and stand out against the rest of the design. The silver is lavishly embellished with small, original period zirconia stones; all but one have been preserved-the missing stone can be easily replaced.
This magnificent antique brooch will be the perfect accessory for the most elegant lady's outfit. It is undoubtedly an unforgettable gift.
