Three medium blue, round faceted sapphires stand in the center and at the ends of this brooch. They are accompanied by small seed pearls that are set into the openwork surface. The design is symmetrical, yet elegantly lively thanks to the curved frames to the right and left of the center stone. The piece of jewellery is a classic British design from the reign of Edward VII between 1901 and 1910. Industrialization had also increased the prosperity of the non-aristocratic upper and middle classes, and so the need for jewellery also increased. Gold jewelry set with colored stones or pearls was worn in particular with daywear, which often consisted of a fitted costume consisting of a long skirt, fitted jacket and elegantly draped blouse. Brooches like this one were worn in the center of the body, on the collar of the high-necked blouse. We discovered the brooch in London and it was also made in Great Britain. Its date is confirmed by the use of 15-karat gold, which was only used until 1932. The fine piece of jewellery has been preserved in the presumably original case of the jeweler Thomas Shaw in Wellington, Shropshire, England.
