Antique Pearl Brooch in 9 Carat Gold; Circa 1911

A charming piece of Edwardian sentiment, this beautifully created brooch captures the single year of 1911 in wonderful detail rendered in lustrous 9 carat gold and adorned with a constellation of delicate seed pearls. Each tiny pearl has been carefully hand set, forming the numerals of the year with soft, iridescent shimmer and elegant refinement.

Jewels created to commemorate specific years were popular keepsakes in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. They were often gifted to mark important milestones births, anniversaries, or significant cultural moments and worn as cherished reminders of a particular time in one’s life. The year 1911 itself was a notable one: in Britain, it marked the coronation of King George V.

Today, this piece is not only a charming jewel but also a miniature time capsule — a wearable memento of over a century ago. Its understated elegance and historical resonance make it a wonderful collector’s item, or a meaningful gift to celebrate a connection to that year.
