“Paris, France, Nov. 30. – Turquoises are becoming more and more fashionable. The delicate and tender color of this pretty gem produces a quiet and refined effect when paired with diamonds or pearls, taking into account the size of the piece it adorns.” “Quiet and refined” is also how this brooch presents itself; it was created during the turquoise fashion trend of the 1890s. Although turquoise was actually considered a modest semi-precious stone, particularly beautiful specimens were often set alongside diamonds. The turquoises used here are of exceptional quality and have been wonderfully preserved: they are a radiant turquoise blue, uniform in colour, as cool and refreshing as the biting cold of a starry winter night. Yet the jewel does not appear ostentatious or even garish: the interplay of the blue stones with the subtly shimmering rose diamonds and the dark silver creates an elegant triad. We discovered the brooch in Great Britain, where it was likely also crafted. The quote is from Jaseur, “Jewelry Notes from Paris,” *The Jewelers’ Circular*, December 12, 1894, p. 39.
