The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

This Edwardian 15ct gold brooch comes in an antique winged heart design set with bright turquoise cabochons and tiny gleaming seed pearls. The yellow gold piece showcases an ornate construction featuring a central heart motif framed by a seed pearl halo, flanked by feathered wings embedded with pearls, and embellished with a top finial pearl, a bottom dangling turquoise cabochon, and a draped lower chain connecting the sides. Fifteen-carat gold pieces remain uncommon in the UK, used primarily between 1854 and 1932 for high quality items, and this example bears no hallmarks while testing as 15-carat gold in excellent antique condition. Measuring 2.5 cm high and 4 cm wide, excluding the chain, the brooch serves as a classic garment accessory for fastening lapels, scarves, or collars on formal wear and vintage outfits today. Collectors often display such wearable Edwardian items on tailored jackets or knitted shawls to highlight the detailed seed pearl work and vibrant blue-green turquoise stones against modern textiles.

FAQs

Edwardian jewellery produced between 1901 and 1910 frequently features motif-driven designs symbolizing love and affection, such as hearts, wings, and bows. These pieces typically exhibit delicate openwork in high-carat gold or platinum, often decorated with seed pearls and cabochon gemstones.

Brooches from this era were primarily constructed using 15ct gold, 18ct gold, or platinum settings. Accent materials commonly included natural seed pearls, turquoise cabochons, diamonds, and swags of fine gold chain.

Authentic items often feature specific historical hallmarks, such as the 15 or .625 stamp for 15ct gold, a standard purity discontinued in the UK in 1931. Construction features include hand-set seed pearls, tube hinges, elongated brooch pins, and simple C-clasps.

An antique brooch can be worn on suit lapels, coat collars, or scarves to add historical detail to modern tailored clothing. Alternatively, it can be displayed inside a framed shadow box or positioned on a velvet vanity tray.

Store the item in a dry, lined box away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent the discolouration of natural pearls and turquoise. Clean gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical dips, water submersion, and ultrasonic cleaners.
