This brooch, which came to us from London, is around 200 years old. The years from 1714 to 1830 are known in England as the "Georgian Era". The era is named after the kings George I to IV from the House of Hanover. This period saw the country's final rise to become the dominant world power with a global colonial empire. The art of this era was characterized by a return to antiquity and corresponds to classicism on the European continent. People loved intense colors at this time and amethyst corresponded particularly well to this fashion. It was therefore often combined with other colored gemstones or shimmering pearls. This can be seen wonderfully in our piece. It takes the form of a cushion-shaped flower with a large amethyst shining in deep purple at its center. Like petals, fine natural pearls frame the large central stone and transport us to a wonderful summer's day with their warm luster. In fact, pieces of jewelry like this, which were created in England around 1820, were mainly worn during the day. In the evening, people switched to diamond jewelry when the colored stones would otherwise have lost attention in the light of the candles. Our piece of jewelry is in very good condition and ready to radiate its warm glow.
