240 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A “Giardinetti” (“little gardens”) brooch. From the late 17th century onwards the Italian word was applied to describe articles of jewellery, rings or brooches mainly, with delicate designs depicting flowers, often arranged in vases or baskets. This silver brooch that was made in France is a such a pretty example and has been set with coloured paste, both faceted and cabochon, and marcasite. It was made circa 1910.
