Regency 15ct Gold Three Colour Gold Brooch set with an Amethyst

434U
120 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A beautifully made three colour gold brooch set with an amethyst that was made circa 1820.  The different colours of gold, red, yellow and green have been inlaid and soldered together to create a wreath of leaves and flowers.  This was a complicated and highly skilled process. By the early 19th century the discovery of large deposits of amethysts in Brazil led to a fashion for setting the gems in to jewels as they had such a rich opulence and colour. The symbolism was also important as the gemstones stood for spiritual goodness, virtuous behaviour and were a defence against intoxication!
