This Edwardian bar brooch is fashioned from 15ct gold and dates from the early 20th century, specifically the pre-1932 period. The piece incorporates a central heart-shaped locket pavé set with natural seed pearls and green garnets, flanked on either side by delicate pearl-set trefoil clover motifs along the gold bar pin. The photograph shows fresh white blossoms with green stems surrounding the jewellery, the curved hinge pin fastening mechanism on the reverse of the bar, and the faceted texture of the tiny green garnet gemstones interspersed between the rounded seed pearls. The heart itself functions as an opening locket compartment, and the metal is stamped 15CT. Measuring 47mm in length with a weight of 5.6 grams, the brooch remains in excellent antique condition with light age-related wear, secure locket closure, and well-preserved lustre to the pearls and garnets. Today, such a sentimental piece serves as a wearable antique accessory, pinned to a lapel, scarf, collar, or hat on formal or everyday garments, or preserved within a private jewellery collection as a decorative keepsake.

FAQs

Heart locket brooches from the late Victorian and Edwardian eras frequently combine sentimental heart symbolism with botanical motifs, such as clovers or leaves. These pieces were designed both as functional fasteners and as keepsakes intended to hold small photographs or locks of hair.

Prior to the abolition of the standard in 1932, British goldsmiths frequently utilised 15 carat gold for gem-set items. These pieces were routinely set with natural seed pearls and gemstones such as demantoid or green garnets using fine pave and bezel settings.

Authentic pieces are typically stamped with 15 or .625 to denote 15 carat gold purity, a standard discontinued in Great Britain in 1932. Inspection of the clasp mechanisms, hand-set seed pearls, and period-accurate gem cuts also assists in verification.

An antique bar brooch can be secured to the lapel of a tailored blazer, fastened at the neckline of a collared shirt, or attached to a silk scarf. Smaller brooches are also pinned onto fabric headbands or modern evening bags as decorative accents.

Seed pearls are sensitive to moisture and chemicals, so they must never be submerged in water or cleaned with harsh chemicals. Wipe the gold surface gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and store the item in a lined box away from direct light and humidity.
