Excellent condition

50mm x 50mm

Many antique and vintage jewellery items are covered in motifs and symbols. The plants, animals and the type and colour of the jewels used aren't just pretty embelishments - they have a real meaning - a secret language hidden in your jewellery.

This is a stunning intricate and very beautiful filligree brooch inspired by a centuries old tradition of jewellery love tokens and romantic symbolism. The pair of birds represent two lovers, the tree is a representation of families or a metaphor for long lasting relationship or a place to call home and the forget me not flowers are a symbol of true love. The garland shape of the brooch is also a symbol of triumph and victory - a brooch packed with traditional hidden meanings - more than just a brooch - a perfect romantic gift for the one you love. 

Made from gold tone metal with pierced foliage and flower design with two love birds perched amongst the branches and surrounded by forget me not flowers. The brooch is complete secure pin and roll over 'C' clasp fastening and measures 5 cm wide.  All of the flowers are enamelled in sapphire blue with tiny faceted clear crystals to the centre of each head.  The birds are enamelled in sapphire blue, emerald green, red and yellow gold enamel.  The birds have tiny black crystals for eyes and the foliage is enamelled in emerald green.  A very pretty brooch, in excellent condition, would make a lovely romantic gift for the one you love.
