Georgian Two Colour 15ct Gold Botanical Brooch With White Coral Flower & Bird Motif

368H/PR
767 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

In the early nineteenth century there was a passion for botanical jewellery. Explorers were bringing back new specimens from far flung places and writing about their discoveries. This example is an enchanting late Georgian botanical brooch, consisting of a large carved white coral flower with gold stamens and a central garnet. There are five finely chased and engraved gold leaves with a gold dove sitting above them. Similar pieces like this can be found in the Hull Grundy collection at The British Museum.
