SOLD Antique Georgian 15-16K & Imperial Pink Topaz & Pink Tourmaline Brooch/Pendant

Repoussé is a decorative technique whereby three-dimensional relief designs are formed by raising the metal from the reverse. This is accomplished using hand punches and hammers on metal that has been placed into a bed of something that will yield to pressure, such as pitch. The metal is periodically annealed to prevent it from breaking.

Produced around 1830, this lovely Georgian era brooch is crafted in 15-16 karat yellow gold repousse work. Rosy pink foiled tourmaline stones glow from within their settings. Each stone has been backed with pink foil, intensifying and blushing up the hue. A serpentine chain drapes lavishly at each side, holding a lovely pink foiled Imperial Topaz drop pendant in captivity for ever more!
