Victorian era 14k gold pearl diamond pink /blue sapphire emerald wing brooch
For sale an antique brooch made during the late 19th century, the Victorian era. It features a pair of wings made of 14K yellow gold. The wings are intricately designed and fully set with seed pearls, imitating the white color of the feathered wings. They are further embellished with old mine diamonds that add a subtle sparkle and brilliance to the overall design.
The center of the wings features a beautiful fleur de lys motif made of a combination of precious-colored stones. The motif includes a pink sapphire, a blue sapphire, an emerald, and two diamonds which creates a vibrant and striking contrast against the white pearls and the yellow gold wings. The colored stones are cushion cut and bezel set with open backs. They weight approximately 0.1ct each.
The brooch is stamped with the French shell hallmark for 14K gold on the pin.
In the 19th century, the Victorian era, wings became a popular motif in jewelry and were often used as a symbol of love, freedom, and transformation. Jewelry designers often incorporated wings into romantic pieces, such as brooches, lockets, and pendants, to represent the wearer's desire for freedom and transcendence.
This brooch is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the time and is a true collector's item.

Chère Jade,
Quelle magnifique surprise que cette bague! La recevoir m'a fait énormément plaisir. Vous avez fait preuve d'une grande attention aux petits détails, et cela se voit. Le colis était joliment emballé et a été expédié rapidement. J'ai particulièrement apprécié la réactivité de votre communication ainsi que le petit mot et les délicieux biscuits qui l'accompagnaient, quel régal!
Encore une fois, un grand merci pour votre professionnalisme et à bientôt!
This is the most beautiful pendant/charm in my collection. The way the enamel catches the light is *chefs kiss*. Great customer service and the shipping was so fast! Such an amazing piece. It was wrapped beautifully. Will definitely be buying from this shop again :))
Be still my heart, this ring is breathtakingly elegant!
Jade has been kind, helpful, and professional from the very first message I’d sent her. She promptly sent me pictures of 2 rings worn together on her finger so I could decide whether they would make a nice bridal set. When I received my package, she had everything wrapped up so pretty, and she had included a pack of Bonne Maman cookies I had grown up eating (I am a French expat).
I have found the one and only place I ever want to purchase my jewelry from, and I definitely hope I get to meet Jade in person on my next trip home 🇫🇷!).
Merçi Jade, de tout mon cœur 💍
