Antique solid gold Napoleon III brooch

We are happy to introduce you to this work of art from the Napoleon III period during the late 19th century, also known as the late Victorian period. This collar brooch is crafted 18 K solid gold and features stunning geometrical decoration. In the center of this beauty, we find a cathedral set rose cut diamond. This little diamond is encircled with small half pearls set arranged in the shape of a flower. This geometrical diamond and pearl center flower is encircled with plain, polished gold which is in turn encircled with flowerlike petals set with split pearls. The many small details show how patient they have been in making such a beautiful jewel, purely handmade which still blows our minds.

The brooch is functioning and in good condition considering its age. It has some dents as visible in the pictures. One is is located in the plain gold part, the other small dents are only visible from the backside. This antique brooch is equipped with a C closure and a long pin typical of late nineteenth century, since clothing was fabricated in thicker materials. This light stunning brooch is hallmarked with a French eagle head, on the clasp as well as on its pin.

We love this wonderful example of an Art Nouveau brooch crafted during the late Napoleon III era in France. We love the way the artist united the elegant flowing natural forms with angular contours giving it a strong and magical look. We love its high and rich carat, the colour tones and of course its wonderful design.
