During the Victorian era, Persian turquoise , or “Pierre Turquoise”(Turkish stone) was highly en-vogue. Often imported from Turkey to England, this special stone was renowned for its vibrant robin’s egg blue hue.

This gorgeous 19th century brooch is a perfect example of iconic Victorian turquoise jewelry. Crafted in sharp sterling silver, this pin features a stunning array of vibrant pave set Persian turquoise cabochons arranged in a heart shape. How darling!

The sterling back is delicate and understated, as well as versatile – this brooch can be work as a sole statement piece, or clasped onto a chain or choker for extra glamour.

Either way, this piece is a perfect mix of playful and elegant; the turquoise, in all its cerulean beauty, also creates a distinctly whimsical feel. For during the Victorian era, turquoise was believed to have the power to protect – as well as serve as a powerful symbol of tranquil energy and enduring love. 

A wonderful antique treasure that you would no doubt be reaching for again and again!
