259Y
100 Admirers

Tiny but perfectly formed this sweet 9ct gold basket filled with gem set flowers will never wilt. The base has been set with chalcedony. The Italian word “Giardinetti” 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.

It was made circa 1860.
