Antique 9ct Gold Amethyst Bar Brooch · Edwardian Purple Gemstone Pin

Dating to the early 20th century, this elegant antique 9ct gold bar brooch features a beautiful oval faceted amethyst at its centre. The gemstone displays a soft violet-purple colour, set within a low-profile rub-over setting with a delicate textured edge that adds subtle detail without detracting from the stone.
 
The slender gold bar has gently tapered geometric ends, giving the brooch a wonderfully understated design that feels remarkably wearable today. Measuring approximately 5.2 cm long, it is an elegant size for wearing on a lapel, jacket, scarf or blouse.
 
The reverse retains its traditional long pin and hook-style closure, along with a small loop likely intended for a safety chain. The brooch is marked 9CT and shows the gentle surface wear and patina expected from a piece that has survived for more than a century.
 
A beautiful example of early 20th-century jewellery, combining the rich warmth of antique gold with the soft purple tones of amethyst. Perfect for an antique jewellery collection, February birthstone gift, or simply as a distinctive vintage accent.
