Victorian 18ct Gold Enamelled Cherub in Rose Diamond Set Coracle Brooch

396N
520 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A most unusual 18ct gold late Victorian brooch featuring a cherub sitting in a rose diamond set coracle. The whole shape of the brooch reflects the waves with two bright rose diamond set stars. The cherub has found his pearl in the ocean by using his pick axe to free it from the oyster. You can see the enamelled waves behind him. It is an allegory of love.
