Gemma Victorian Rhodolite Tourmaline & Diamond Enamel Brooch 18ct Yellow Gold

Gemma, a Victorian brooch in 18ct yellow gold, features white enamel scrollwork and delicate polychrome leaves framing a rhodolite garnet, a green tourmaline, and four rose-cut diamonds.

A celebration of 19th-century craft, she echoes 16th-century goldwork reimagined by Victorian hands. Her rich colour and texture evoke nostalgia and quiet elegance, as striking today as in her own century.
