Sentimental Antique Turquoise and Diamond Brooch, c. 1900

The shamrock is one of the most popular motifs in Belle Époque jewellery. Today, we are most familiar with it in its four-leafed form as a symbol of good luck. However, around c. 1900, the delicate little plant could also convey a romantic message, which explains why it can be found on so many pieces of jewellery of the time. Probably the most important work on the language of flowers, Anna Burke's Illustrated Language of Flowers from 1856, lists the four-leaf clover with the meaning "Be mine". This brooch from the early years of the 20th century takes up this symbol and interprets it in a particularly luxurious way. It is made of gold and takes the form of a round wreath. Four shamrocks are set on the round, each made up of four sky-blue turquoises grouped around a small diamond. The turquoises enliven the design with their beautiful color and at the same time deepen its message. In the language of gemstones, the turquoise with its forget-me-not tone also stands for the plea not to be forgotten. Turquoise was also regarded as a symbol of love. We discovered this very well-preserved brooch in London. It is highly likely that it was also made in Great Britain.
