Antique Australian 15ct Yellow Gold Floral Spray Brooch By Willis and Sons Circa 1910
Sold Out
Stunningly pretty antique Edwardian Australian brooch by one of our most prominent jewellery firms Willis and Sons and hallmarked beautifully as such.
Crafted from bright and lush 15ct yellow gold and styled as a floral spray, set with natural half seed Pearls and stones which look very much like faceted oval Aquamarines but sadly do not test as such and are in fact according to our gemologist beautiful blue glass. This practice was quite common during this era.
This stylised brooch looks equally prefect placed horizontally, vertically or diagonally on your favourite jacket lapel or shirt collar.
