Gerard McCabe was born with a passion for great design and timeless jewellery. As a discerning collector, the ever-growing collection of antique jewellery is one of the best in Australia, featuring stunning pieces from the Victorian, Edwardian, Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods.
The Victorian era saw the birth of feminine, delicate designs, with an emphasis on filigree gold. Key symbols included heart, flowers, lovebirds, ivy, knots, bows and snakes. After Prince Albert’s death, the jewellery took a turn for the more sombre designs. Pieces comprising onyx or jet became popular, and designs became larger and chunkier.
In our latest release of Antique & Period jewellery, Gerard has an Antique Victorian Brooch. Crafted in 15ct yellow gold, the exceptional piece is reminiscent of the early Victorian era. With 24 individual glistening diamonds, complemented by the natural pearls and imperial pink, gold topaz and aquamarine. The coloured gemstones used are beautifully enhanced by the pearl and diamond additions, making for a radiant and captivating Victorian brooch.
The exceptional craftsmanship behind this Antique Victorian Brooch represents the Victorian era like no other. The late 19th-century brooch is a wonderful addition to your expanding antique’s collection or the start of a magnificent one.
This magnificent brooch represents the intricate detailing evident in Gerard McCabe’s Antique & Period Collection. With each piece telling a story, you may never know who crafted or wore this brooch, but it’s the mystery that makes these pieces priceless. Discover more antique jewellery on our website!
