The Victorian language of flowers adds a secret letter to this brooch: one of true love. Because the Victorians adored both sentimental and symbolic jewelry, floral corsages became an evergreen motif, with petals rendered here in gorgeous old mine cut paste stones- worth a fool’s ransom if constructed in diamonds! But there is nothing subpar about this stunning garland brooch. With her textile-like rococo curls and startling symmetry. A perfect flower bomb, with a beautiful inscription on the reverse- this will be a landmark addition to any collection!
