Victorian Revival 9ct Yellow Gold Blue Tourmaline & Pearl Brooch

An elegant Victorian Revival brooch finely crafted in 9ct yellow gold assayed in London, 1990. The openwork oval design is set with three faceted blue tourmalines with an estimated total carat weight of ~0.55ct. Surrounding the gemstones are twenty-four split pearls, alternating between 3.5 mm and 2.5 mm, all mounted in finely scalloped gold collets. Inspired by the romantic floral motifs and symmetry of late 19th-century jewellery, this piece offers refined antique charm with modern wearability.
