Belle Époque Enamel and Gold Quartz Brooch with Natural Pearls | c.1910
POA
Description
This beautifully preserved European brooch dates to around 1910, sitting right at the meeting point of the Belle Époque and Art Nouveau.
It’s a quietly luxurious piece - refined, elegant, and full of thoughtful detail.
Set in 15ct gold, the brooch centres on a flat polished quartz with visible gold inclusions - like tiny flecks of sunlight suspended inside.
It’s framed by delicate enamel work in pale blue and white, and finished with three natural pearls and three matching enamel drops that move gently when worn.
The overall shape and materials speak to the Belle Époque’s love of soft richness and harmony, while the flowing lines and organic enamel design carry the clear influence of Art Nouveau.
It’s that perfect moment in early 20th-century jewellery where beauty and craftsmanship came together without fuss.
Measuring about 5cm by 5cm, this would have been a special piece in its day - worn pinned to a fine silk blouse or dress, and still just as wearable now.
An elegant, expressive piece of history you can carry forward.
Available exclusively at ELTONS, Grays Antique Market, Mayfair, London.
