Superlative Georgian Black Dot Rock Crystal and Silver Brooch

A rare example of Georgian jewelry, this crown brooch, which is quite weighty, originally was meant to be worn as a hair crown, possibly a wedding jewel. Immaculate condition, this Georgian jewel is in a crown design set with many differently shaped rock crystals all with a distinct black dot in their closed back silver setting.

The master jeweler used many differently shaped hand cut rock crystals, at least 7 different shapes. I have never seen another Georgian jewel with so many different shaped gems! Each stem or blossom design is cupped in their silver closed back settings shooting up from a curved row of 11 rectangle crystals.

Immaculate condition, truly a work of Georgian jeweler's art, unsigned, the jewel is likely English in origin or quite possibly French. It measures approximately 3" across at the bottom and at the highest point 1 1/2" and was made in year of 1780.

(Box in photo 2 is for display only, jewel will arrive in it's own gold foil jewelry box with silk ribbon)
