Late 20th Century 9ct Yellow Gold Peridot & Split Pearl Bar Brooch
A delicate 9ct yellow gold bar brooch, finely crafted with an ornate openwork design and set with a round-cut 0.35ct peridot at the centre. Eight lustrous split pearls are delicately spaced around the frame, enhancing the symmetry and elegance of the piece.
Assayed in Sheffield, 1988, this brooch is an exquisite example of late-century craftsmanship. It showcases the refined minimalism and feminine geometry that remained popular throughout the late 20th century, drawing inspiration from Edwardian revival styles.
