Vivid cerulean enamel serves as a backdrop for hand-painted birds and delicate florals, each brushstroke capturing the charm of a bygone era. Framed by elaborate pinchbeck scrollwork, the pieces radiate warmth, their golden hue untouched by time, their ornate flourishes evoking the grandeur of Georgian design. The earrings, long and graceful, sway with the movement of their wearer, while the brooch is a study in baroque elegance—a tableau of nature’s beauty rendered in the finest detail.

Crafted circa 1830, this set includes a brooch measuring 53.8 x 40.6 x 14.8 mm and a pair of earrings measuring 92.3 x 21.5 x 5.6 mm. The combined weight of 27.7 grams underscores their presence without burden. While the enamel panels display a few stable hairline cracks, they remain a testament to the delicate craftsmanship of the time. The earrings are fitted with simple hooks, crowned with a charming leaf motif, adding to their botanical allure.

To wear this set is to embody history—to step into an era of romance, grace, and exquisite attention to detail. A rare and treasured find, waiting to be adored once more. See less
