Antique Victorian Edwardian Infinity Paste Sterling Silver Dangle Brooch Pin

Description

One-of-a-Kind Journey
Victorian jewelry has a distinguished aesthetic beauty but it is also often filled with secret meaning, as is the case with this antique brooch. A feminine and curvy setting on this late Victorian piece, has a striking silhouette, that when examined closely reveals the infinity symbol, in three loops, that repeats three times. The pretty pastel color palette, in unique shades of yellow, pink and green are a special touch while the overall design is embellished even further by three drops swinging merrily when this piece is worn.

On Color.
Color plays a key role in jewelry design and in turn its collectability. Whether natural stones or glass, what exact hue of blue was used, or the combination of colors can tell you what time period a piece was made. Certain shades can be more common during a particular decade, making that piece of jewelry a classic example of the period - or - conversely a vibrant and unique shade might make it quite rare.
On Symbolism In Jewelry.
Symbolism in antique and vintage jewelry is common, yet it can be hard to spot if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Often, specific natural gemstones, flowers, birds, and motifs like stars and anchors were imbued with meanings that have fallen out of present-day society’s collective memory. To appreciate the power of symbols in antique jewelry is to imagine what it would have been like to wear the piece and step back into history
