Circular brooch in the form of a stylized eight-petalled flower, of chrysoberyls and pink topazes set in silver
Improved domestic lighting and the development of the brilliant cut, which sparkles so magically by candlelight, ensured the primacy of faceted gemstones in eighteenth-century jewellery. The delicate yellow chrysoberyls in this piece would have been mined in Brasil.
