Celebrate the timeless beauty of Victorian nature-inspired jewellery with this exquisite15ct yellow gold brooch. In the 19th century, the oak leaf and acorn motif was a popular symbol of strength, longevity, and fertility, making this piece both a fashionable accessory and a deeply meaningful keepsake.
The brooch features an intricate, open-work circular frame meticulouslyset with lustrous natural seed pearls. At the centre, a delicately crafted gold oak branch extends to display three pearl set leaves and a single, pearl-crowned acorn. The use of15ct gold only used as a standard between the 1850s-1930s gives the piece a warm, rich tone and while no exact date of manufacture is stamped it gives a narrowish window of its age. It comes complete with agold safety chain and pin, a practical addition that allows the wearer an additional level of security when worn
As with all vintage and antique jewellery, there are likely to be signs of wear conducive with age and use. It is an integral part of what makes them appealing, adding history, charm and individualism to each piece.
