Here is an exquisite antique flower brooch, a relic from the Grand Victorian Era, circa 1860, whose origins trace back to the Netherlands. This trembling corsage brooch displays the brilliance of 130 high-quality rose-cut diamonds, delicately set on a sheet of silver and wrapped in the warmth of 14-carat red gold. These rose-cut diamonds, renowned for their captivating sparkle, rest on a leaf bed, their brilliance reminiscent of stars in the night sky.
Some experts praise their romantic charm, which dances enchantingly in the flickering candlelight. One cannot help but wonder if any other lighting could rival their ethereal glow, as only candles were their faithful companions.
Trembleuse jewelry, so named for their vibrant design, confers an aura of timeless elegance to this Victorian masterpiece. Adorned with Dutch hallmarks dating from 1852 to 1906, they whisper tales of love and passion through the ages.

Style
Victorian – Victorian decorative arts refer to the style of decorative arts from the Victorian era. This era is known for its eclectic revival and interpretation of historical styles, as well as the introduction of cross-cultural influences from the Middle East and Asia into furniture, accessories, and interior decoration. Victorian design is widely perceived as having shown a regrettable excess of ornamentation. The Arts and Crafts movement, the aesthetic movement, the Anglo-Japanese style, and Art Nouveau all have their origins at the end of the Victorian era.

Style specifics
The Grand Victorian Era – Experts divide the reign of Queen Victoria, also called the Victorian era (1837 – 1901), into three periods of about twenty years each: the Romantic Victorian period (1837 – 1860), the Grand Victorian period (1860 – 1880), and the Late or Aesthetic Victorian period (1880 – 1901).
We consider this to be the Grand Victorian period.
This second Victorian period is famous for its sumptuous pieces set with pearls and diamonds (from South Africa). From around 1850, wealthy Englishmen brought back jewelry from India and Japan, which greatly inspired the jewelers of this era. This period also corresponds to the death of Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, which made mourning jewelry (set with heavy dark stones) the specific type of jewelry for this time.

Additional information
Tremblant or Trembleuse – Tremblant means "trembling" in French. It is a piece of jewelry decorated with a flower or another motif, whose top is adorned with protruding rigid wires (set with gemstones) that vibrate when the piece is subjected to movement. Sometimes, these protrusions are fine coiled silver springs, like those used in the 18th century, but some examples were made with tubular rods encasing a steel spring band.

130 rose-cut diamonds. We do not have the weight of the diamonds, which is common in our trade for rose cuts.
