Antique French 18K, Diamond & Pearl Bar Pin/Brooch

The Belle Epoque, or 'Beautiful Age' (Fr.), was a period of peace and prosperity, with artistic expression taking the forefront in many forms of life, including fashion and jewelry. The timeframe for this era is 1871 - 1914, just before the onset of WWI. In America, this period is referred to as 'The Gilded Age'.  The Industrial Revolution stimulated the economy, making it possible for the middle classes to purchase luxuries like jewelry and fashionable adornments.

This large bar pin brooch is crafted in 18 karat yellow gold, with two sparkling diamonds and three creamy, well-matched pearls. Simple and refined, it would look just amazing at the collar, on a coat or even worn in your hair! The perfect accessory for the most elegant of connoisseurs!
