This exquisite Belle Époque brooch, born in France around 1900, perfectly illustrates the era's taste for elegance and refinement. Crafted in 18-carat yellow gold and platinum, it is adorned with twelve rose-cut diamonds and twelve genuine, lustrous Oriental pearls, perfectly reflecting the luxurious aesthetic of the period. The Belle Époque, nicknamed the “Beautiful Era,” was a time of artistic and cultural flourishing in Europe, and this brooch, with its delicate balance of pearls and diamonds, embodies the sophistication and grandeur of the age. Stamped with the French Mercury hallmark, it is not only a piece of jewelry but also a piece of history, symbolizing the opulence and artistic fervor of the early 20th century.

Style
Belle Époque - The Belle Époque is a period of European social history that began at the end of the 19th century and lasted until the First World War. Occurring during the time of the French Third Republic and the German Empire, the “Belle Époque” was named retrospectively, when it came to be considered a “golden age.” The great European powers and new technologies improved life, and commercial arts adapted Renaissance and 18th-century styles to modern forms. In the United States, newly wealthy and emerging from the Panic of 1873, this comparable era was called the Gilded Age. In the United Kingdom, this period overlapped the end of what is called the Victorian era and the period known as the Edwardian era.
