A beautiful brooch-pendant.

The floral wreath between the diamond frames further adds femininity, and the cool diamonds contrast wonderfully with the eye-catching topaz. This brooch can also be worn as an arresting pendant, and would look marvellous against black or with a beautiful evening dress for a special event. Made in around 1900 at the beginning of the Edwardian period, this brooch is detailed and elegant in its design. A truly spectacular brooch-pendant.
