For sale an exceptional 19th century acorn and oak leaves brooch. This remarkable brooch boasts four acorns adorned with lustrous white natural pearls. Each pearl, with its unique and slightly uneven shape, is a testament to the rare allure of the natural world. These pearls have been thoughtfully selected and incorporated to capture the essence of acorns in their most authentic form.
The oak leaves that gracefully intertwine with the acorns are nothing short of spectacular. Adorned with rose cut diamonds, the layers of these leaves are expertly designed to mimic the natural flow and form of a real oak branch. The diamonds and the pearls are mounted in silver and then on 18K gold, which is the common practice back to the 19th century. The back of the stem as well as the pin of the brooch are also made in 18K gold.
This brooch looks exactly the same than the one worn by Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, on different occasions. The diamond brooch represents the Middleton family’s coat of arms. The Duchess was seen wearing the brooch in 2012 during the Diamond Jubilee celebrations for the first time. Check the photo in the description to see the astonishing similarity between our two brooches.
This stunning brooch is not just a work of art but a testament to the rarity of natural pearls in today's market, making it a coveted collector's piece.
