| Brooch of Gold, Emeralds and Diamonds c. 1875 The Victoria & Albert Museum |
This gold brooch, decorated with enamel and set with emeralds and rose-cut diamonds was made in Paris circa 1875 by the jewelry firm of Marret Frères et Jarry.
This transitional piece, in the form of a floral head, marks the ushering-in of heavily-jeweled Naturalistic floral sprays which dominated the end of the Nineteenth Century.
