From a vanished (Austro-Hungarian) empire, this fabulous 19th-century corsage brooch is a bountiful bouquet for all time. Measuring a quite conspicuous 3 by 2 1/8 inches, the jubilant arrangement overflows with 134 glowing multichromatic opals, including two lavishly petaled blooms accented with natural seed pearl-tipped stamens. Artfully hand-fabricated in gilded silver, it is wearable as a brooch and necklace. Total opal weight, 8.25 carats. The darkened silver chain measures 18 inches.

About Victorian Jewelry
The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.
As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
