Antique Victorian Edwardian Seed Pearl 15 Ct. Etruscan Sickle Moon Heart Brooch - $135 - (Mcbride, BC)
The Etruscan Revival period of jewelry stretched from Victorian times and into the Edwardian era. This antique brooch is a first-rate example of the careful craftsmanship of the quality jewelry that was made at that time. Enlarge the pictures if you can and take a look at the exquisite granulation. In truth, they really don't make jewelry like this any more. This 15 ct gold brooch came from the United Kingdom in the early years of the 20th century with a Scottish bride who homesteaded here in northern B.C. with her new husband. The glow of the seed pearls is deepening with age and to my mind that is part of the charm of this lovely brooch. Its gold is a deeper shade than 14 ct gold would be, too. All in all, this brooch is a stand-out.
