This exquisite Victorian brooch is a true work of wearable art, rich with detail and timeless beauty. Crafted in 9k gold and fully hallmarked with a Birmingham anchor, 375 stamp, and letter f, this piece captures the refined elegance of Victorian-era jewelry.

At its heart is a richly colored oval garnet, bezel-set and surrounded by a finely etched starburst pattern. Flanking the garnet are six luminous seed pearls—three on either side—gracefully balanced across the central layer of the brooch.

This multilayered design adds wonderful dimension. The outer level features half-circle cutouts, gold ball accents, and a beautiful frame of wire and bead detailing. Delicate gold orbs punctuate the edges, drawing the eye to the craftsmanship from every angle.

The back of the brooch is just as thoughtfully finished, stamped with M & G, a maker's mark, and full English hallmarks, confirming its age and authenticity. A secure pin clasp makes it ready to wear and treasure.

A romantic piece of history—perfect for collectors or those who appreciate intricate antique jewelry.
