Edwardian Emerald & Pearl Bar Brooch
An elegant Edwardian 14ct yellow gold seed pearl and emerald bar brooch. This dainty, classic piece is set with six rich emeralds, interspaced by five luminous pearls, and features a base metal pin to the rear for wearability.
For centuries, brooches have been used to communicate marital status, religion and even secret desires. The bar brooch was a favourite piece in Edwardian fashion, arising from its popularity among royal families from around the world. Bar brooches for evening attire were the epitome of elegance, often showcasing gemstones or diamonds to accentuate an outfit.
Emeralds are known to be the birthstone for May, and have been worn throughout history as a talisman for protection, good health and long life. They were even believed to be a source of eternal life by the Egyptians, and have long been revered by many cultures for their mysterious and beautiful colour.
