It is a lovely design with petals all around the edge and highly detailed Etruscan applied gold wire work around the centre. This archaeological style was popular in the 1860-1880 period as a large excavation had taken place in Italy. The gold pieces that were discovered influenced many jewellers to copy the design, the most notable being Castellani. In the centre is an old mine cut diamond within a diamond shaped setting. On the reverse is a glazed locket that would originally have held a lock of hair or a miniature

Art Deco Platinum & Diamond Bow Brooch
£
1275
This brooch exemplifies the jewellers art at the beginning of the 20th century. They realised that platinum was a much better metal to use in the setting of gemstones as it was so hard and durable, unlike silver which is a soft and cumbersome metal. The result was a light and very pretty look and many pieces were produced such as this bow brooch which shows the diamonds off within a cobweb design. It looks wonderful when worn on a plain lapel as the pierced work adds contrast to the colour beneath.
