I know I’ve written about this brooch before, but I really like it and it’s in keeping with the situation today. Made between 1830 and 1840, this brooch is in the form of a Tudor rose. Bright gold, is pavé-set with turquoises, rubies, emeralds and pearls.
When originally made, this would have been the central ornament from a bracelet. Unfortunately, when this section was converted into a brooch, the rest of the bracelet was lost. The reverse of the piece has been fitted with a locket.
