Regency 15ct Gold Flower Spray Brooch set with Turquoise, White Coral, Natural Split Pearl, Amethyst & an Emerald

98R
Written by Olly Gerrish

In the early nineteenth century there was a passion for botanical jewels. Explorers were bringing back new specimens from far flung places and reporting their latest discoveries. This example is an enchanting late Georgian botanical brooch, made circa 1820. It consists of three flowers, one is a “forget me not” set with turquoise and a natural split pearl. This was intended to send a sweet secret message that not to forget the admire who has given this to you! The other two flowers have been set with an amethyst and natural split pearls and an emerald with carved white coral petals. There are two finely chased and engraved gold leaves with a triple stem above that attaches to the three separate flowers. Similar pieces like this can be found in the Hull Grundy collection at The British Museum.
