Edwardian Silver & Coloured Paste Giardinetti Brooch

945S
320 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

This is the sweetest “giardinetti” (“little gardens”) brooch. Like a little work of art. From the late 17th century onwards the Italian word was applied to describe articles of jewellery with an intricate floral openwork motif. These pieces consist of various gems set in designs resembling flowers and often arranged in vases or baskets. This silver brooch was made in France circa 1910, and is a such a pretty example. It has been set with a lovely combination of coloured paste. Perfect as a gift and would look great worn on a lapel.
