French 19th Century 18ct Gold & Enamel Sweet Pea Brooch in Original Case

278K
825 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual 18ct gold brooch of a sweet pea. It has been beautifully made with etched and clear surfaces on the gold. The enamel has been graded from a deep purple to blue on the petals, with two green leaves. In the 19th century so many pieces of jewellery had hidden meanings. The use of the sweet pea motif in this piece means “Goodbye” or “Au Revoir” so it could have been a mourning piece or a parting gift. It was made circa 1880 in France.
