Edwardian 15ct Gold Yorkshire Sweetheart Brooch

1900 - 1920
Sold 2 October 2024 · Corvidae Antique
This “Edwardian 15ct Gold Yorkshire Sweetheart Brooch” found a buyer.

It was listed by Corvidae Antique. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

A beautifully crisp Edwardian sweetheart brooch depicting the sword and post horn of the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, with a silver Yorkshire white rose nestled at the centre of the regimental horn.

Sweetheart brooches and charms were exchanged by soldiers and their sweethearts as good luck tokens before the men left to do battle in Europe during World War One (1914-18).

Marked 15ct on the back. Fifteen-carat gold pieces are not overly common (in the UK only really used between 1854 and 1932) and as this fineness was generally used in high quality pieces, it is attractive to collectors.

The brooch is in excellent antique condition with a sturdy rose gold pin.

Size: approx 4.7 x 1cm.

Weight: 3.5g.

Sweetheart brooches were sentimental pieces of jewellery given by soldiers to their loved ones during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often featuring regimental insignia.

High-grade pieces from the Edwardian era frequently utilised 15-carat gold, sterling silver, and occasionally gemstones or enamel work to highlight military motifs.

Authentic pieces often feature period-appropriate hallmarks, such as 15ct denoting the gold purity used prior to the British transition to 9ct gold standards in 1932, alongside traditional pin and C-catch mechanisms.

Antique brooches can be worn pinned to the lapel of a tailored blazer, fastening a scarf, or secured to the neckline of a minimalist dress for a touch of heritage detail.

Clean antique gold gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding harsh chemical dips that may damage delicate stones or historic metalwork.
