A fine Victorian brooch. During the mid-Victorian era, men’s jewellery featured an array of motifs related to hobbies or professions. This brooch was most likely worn as a reference to pheasant hunting, a popular sporting pastime during the nineteenth century. The body of the pheasant and surrounding base and fence details are all set with lively and glittering diamonds. The eye of the pheasant is a vivid cabochon ruby. The pheasant’s legs have been meticulously rendered, featuring wonderful detail. This brooch is a lovely and expressive piece.
