ABOUT THIS BROOCH

To soothe the sorrow of parting and leave a loved one something of remembrance, sweetheart brooches—miniature replicas of badges—were gifted as keepsakes by members of various service branches to their wives or girlfriends. This brooch represents one of the badges of the Royal Navy of The United Kingdom, its design featuring leaves set with single-cut diamonds; an anchor set with a European-cut diamond and wrapped with a chain 'rope'; and a crown accented with diamonds and red enamel. An intriguing collectible and conversation piece. Total diamond weight, .74 carat. The pin and latch are hand fabricated in 14K white gold, while the base of the enamel section is 18K yellow gold. Accompanied by its original box from Edward & Sons, Ltd.

About Edwardian Jewelry

Edwardians took the dark beauty of Victorian jewelry and dyed it platinum blonde. Light and airy filigree, worked with intricate millegrain and detailed designs in that durable metal, was liberally set with the “white” stones—pearls and diamonds chief among them. The Victorians’ sense of whimsy and beloved yellow gold didn’t disappear completely, though, even as the Edwardian era made way for the further-streamlined Art Deco.

Jewelry Care

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.
