Dating to around 1910 and European in origin this gorgeous lapel pin is beautifully ornamented with natural coral gemstones. Set in fine silver filigree worked into a superb floral design the tomato red coral provides a dramatic contrast framed against the icy white of the silver wire-work.
In tip-top condition with no breaks in the filigree this brooch fastens securely with an early barrel shaped safety clasp. Slight colour variation in the stones as you might expect in natural coral.
A fabulous way to grace your lapel with a pop of colour this festive season and an elegant way to connect yourself with early 20th century fashion!
