Circa 1870, this brooch from the early Victorian era is made of 14k gold with a beautiful matte finish. The forget-me-not, a sentimental image often present in mourning jewelry, is composed of a chrysoberyl cat's eye surrounded by six old-cut natural diamonds, grain-set in the petals. The whimsical arrow is inlaid with eight pearls, which contrast nicely with the matte gold. On the back of the brooch, a portrait of a woman is held in an oval frame. She wears her hair braided, wears beautiful jewelry, and was clearly very loved by the original owner.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n The blue-gray cat's eye displays a beautiful chatoyancy that shimmers with movement. Chatoyancy is an optical phenomenon observed in certain stones, caused by light reflecting off parallel needle-like elements within the stone, creating the \"cat's eye\" effect. Additionally, chrysoberyl shows a feature called adularescence, a milky sheen or a diffuse light that seems to come from beneath the surface of the stone. The effect is attributed to layers of orthoclase and albite that reflect and scatter the light.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n Dimensions: 2” x 3\/4”. Weight: 10 g. Chrysoberyl: 3.25 mm. Six old-cut natural diamonds: 2.25 mm, for a total of 0.15 carat. Natural pearls: 2.75 to 1 mm. Piece not hallmarked.\n\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Kirsten’s Corner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53957608112457,"sku":null,"price":1885.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0342\/5311\/1432\/files\/mp_30306_0.jpg?v=1779228208","url":"https:\/\/58facettes.com\/products\/broche-medaillon-de-deuil-en-forme-d-enveloppe-en-or-14k-diamants-et-perles","provider":"58 Facettes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
