Antique portrait brooch in 14-carat yellow gold, rubies, and diamonds
This antique brooch is much more than a piece of jewelry: it bears witness to closeness, connection, and family love. At its center is a finely crafted portrait of two children, framed by rubies and diamonds.
The combination of the miniature portrait, oval shape, and the surrounding precious stones refers to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At that time, portrait brooches were cherished keepsakes, often worn as a sign of family attachment, love, or in memory of loved ones.
The image depicts two children and would have been made in miniature, possibly on porcelain or glass. These representations were executed with great care and reflected a mark of esteem and emotional closeness.
Made of 14-carat yellow gold (585), the brooch is set with 19 rubies and 19 diamonds. The rubies total approximately 1.9 ct and bring a warm tone. The diamonds total approximately 0.19 ct and highlight the portrait with luminous accents.
The brooch is in very good condition, consistent with its age. The setting, pin mechanism, and stones are stable. The miniature shows a beautiful patina, enhancing its historical character. The brooch has been inspected and carefully cleaned.
Thanks to its balanced proportions and emotional center, this brooch stands out without being ostentatious. It can be worn on a lapel, on a dress, or kept as a collector's piece.
