Exquisite antique silver Austro Hungarian brooch hailing from the Edwardian era.
Composed in the suffragette colors of purple, white and green, the brooch is decorated in enamelled white crescents and purple flowers. A large chrysoprase cabochon (a type of green chalcedony) graces the centre surrounded by vivid pink genuine rubies.
Synonymous with jewelry created in the Austrian Hungarian Empire the brooch is in the Renaissance revival style and highly detailed with the back almost as decorative as the front and it fastens with a sturdy pin back.
A superbly crafted brooch, steeped in history and in incredible condition especially given age! We have the matching bracelet on the last 2 photos available should you be tempted into a set.
