Antique Georgian Brooch Pendant Gold Diamonds Floral En Tremblant (6936)

Description : Floral, botanical themed brooch. A curving stem with exuberant foliage and a large flower, possibly of the convolvulus family, such as a Morning Glory. The section holding the large flower is a narrow ribbon of gold that has the ability to move gently. Two of the diamonds are held aloft in a raised gallery of gold, the rest of the hundreds of diamonds are collette-set in gold. Fascinating contrast between different forms of metal work, relief subtle play of height and variety of setting. <P><P>
Details of the construction, as seen at the back, hint that the elements of the brooch/pendant once dissembled and were possibly used as elements in a tiara or other form of jewelry as well as a brooch-pendant. Currently, the form is not alterable.
C-clasp, typical of the period. A loop allows the jewel to be hung on a chain and worn as a pendant.
