Edwardian Silver, Marcasite & Coloured Paste Giardinetti Brooch

956S
120 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 an intricate, openwork floral motif, consisting of various gems set in designs resembling flowers and often arranged in vases or baskets. This silver brooch is a such a pretty example and has been set with coloured pastes and marcasite (iron pyrites). It was made in France circa 1910.
We have a few of these Giardinetti brooches in stock as they came from a private collection. Each one is slightly different so take your pick!
