Antique Colourful Paste Silver Flower Basket Brooch Pin | Giardinetti

£225    $304    €263
This breathtaking antique brooch is a true masterpiece, featuring a delicate floral bouquet adorned with dazzling Paste stones beautifully crafted in sterling silver.
 
The inspiration for this piece comes from a rich history rooted in 17th-century Italy, where the term ''Giardinetti'' was coined to describe jewellery featuring intricate, openwork floral designs. These designs often portrayed stunning arrangements of gems in shapes resembling flowers, commonly set in elegant vases or baskets. The art of Giardinetti jewellery quickly became a symbol of opulence and refinement, capturing the essence of nature’s beauty most exquisitely.
 
Paste is hand-cut glass designed to mimic the sparkle and brilliance of precious gemstones, giving the piece an extraordinary depth and radiance.
