A beautiful and deeply sentimental Victorian brooch, created in warm 15 carat gold. Designed as a classic bar brooch with elegant pearl terminals, the piece centres on a finely detailed lyre. A timeless symbol of music, poetry, and harmony. 

The lyre itself is exquisitely rendered in silver, showcasing remarkable craftsmanship in miniature. It is adorned with a combination of old cut and rose cut diamonds that catch the light with a soft, romantic sparkle, while a delicate star set above adds a celestial touch.  A motif often associated with remembrance and enduring affection.

Musical instruments held special meaning in Victorian symbolism, representing love, and the harmony between souls. This brooch would likely have been worn as a personal token, quietly conveying sentiment as much as style.

Elegant and rich in historical charm, this is a wonderful example of Victorian artistry. A poetic jewel that remains as meaningful and wearable today as it was over a century ago.
