Edwardian Silver & Coloured Paste Giardinetti Brooch

958S
169 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A pretty silver brooch of a basket of flowers. It has been set with coloured and clear paste. Brooches like this one were very popular in the early 1900s. They are known as “Giardinetti” (“little gardens”) brooches. 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 little silver brooch is a such a pretty example and has been set with coloured pastes. It was made 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!
