Beautifully detailed and wonderfully romantic, this vintage 15ct yellow gold brooch is an impressive example of traditional floral jewellery, lavishly decorated with an extraordinary 90 half seed pearls.
The design follows a graceful flowering branch, with a large dimensional bloom at its centre surrounded by delicately formed leaves and smaller floral details. Each section is intricately set with creamy seed pearls, creating wonderful texture and lustre against the warmth of the yellow gold.
At approximately 51mm long, it has excellent presence without being overly large – an elegant statement worn on a jacket, dress, scarf or lapel and equally appealing as a piece for the serious vintage jewellery collector.
Seed pearls are very small natural pearls traditionally used in intricate jewellery designs, particularly during the Georgian and Victorian eras and into the early 20th century. Their diminutive size allowed jewellers to create elaborate floral, foliate and decorative patterns.
The sheer number used in this brooch – 90 half seed pearls – creates the wonderfully detailed, almost jewel-like surface that makes this piece so striking.
This brooch has been professionally assessed by an accredited jewellery valuer and carries a current retail replacement valuation of $5,265, dated 17 September 2026.
The valuation is for retail replacement/insurance purposes and is not the selling price. We specialise in vintage and pre-loved jewellery and sell below valuation, providing the opportunity to acquire beautiful older jewellery for considerably less than comparable retail replacement value.
Rather than newly manufactured jewellery, this is a genuine older piece that has survived to be enjoyed by another generation. Jewellery of this character combines craftsmanship, history and individuality while giving an existing precious piece a new chapter.
The brooch is in good vintage condition with age-related wear to the gold, consistent with its history. The C-clasp fastens securely. Please examine the photographs carefully as they form an important part of the description and condition.
