Victorian Diamond Brooch in 9 Carat Gold; Circa 1889

Created in 1889, this Victorian brooch is a celebration of timeless beauty and the spirit of a transformative age. Set with a constellation of rose cut diamonds, each facet captures and reflects the light with a soft shimmer. A hallmark of 19th century stone cutting.

The year 1889 was a pivotal one in history; a time of innovation, activism, and cultural change. In Britain, Emmeline Pankhurst, alongside her husband, founded the Women’s Franchise League, a pioneering organisation that fought for the right of married women to vote in local elections. Across the Atlantic, America was celebrating the opening of the Eiffel Tower at the Paris Exposition Universelle, where American artists proudly showcased the country’s growing industrial and cultural influence.

Today, more than a century later, this jewel still sparkles with that same Victorian glow a reminder of progress, and the beauty of the era that shaped modern womanhood. Whether worn to mark International Women’s Day or simply cherished as a piece of living history, it is as meaningful now as it was when first created.
