Antique Essex Crystal Horse Brooch Pin Victorian
$ 1,190.00 $ 1,400.00
I’m always ravenous for pieces of art that can be worn and shown off. And pieces like these, with endless charm and flattery, are by far my favorite. There’s a sweetness with this piece that stems from the jeweler’s love for his craft. There’s tradition with this piece, illuminated from the idea of nature. There’s a fashion with this piece, found in the ratios of gold, crystal, and paint, which give a sense of perfect artistic balance.
This antique Victorian gold Essex crystal brooch was handcrafted in England around 1880. It features a detailed motif of a horse and bridle, set in 15 karat gold. It’s a round pin that measures 22.4 mm in diameter and weighs 8.4 grams. It bears the hallmark, “V” and a maker’s mark. This brooch has been acid tested.
This type of reverse cut and painted rock crystal is commonly called an Essex Crystal. It’s made by taking a smooth round rock crystal, and cabochon cutting it, then deeply reverse-carving it. The stone is then hand-painted from the back. It’s a tedious process that takes many man hours. Of course, every minute of work on this piece was absolutely worth it!

Large Georgian Paste Horseshoe Buckle French Silver
$ 553.00 $ 650.00
I’ve always had a soft spot for the Georgians and their way of styling life. It was an era with many phases including the usage of paste. Paste, or glass, was introduced as an alternative to expensive gemstones around 1780, which gave way to brightly colored jewelry sets and a new sense of personal style. Good luck charms were no exception to the Georgians, and horseshoes were worn to provide luck and to protect against evil. Personally, I always keep a lucky horseshoe over my door!

Victorian Horseshoe Brooch Pin Silver Gold Flowers
$ 255.00 $ 300.00
What do you supposed people thought when they saw the first automobile? Did they think it was a coach drawn by invisible (and loud) horses. Did they think it was Witchcraft? Sorcery? The fate of humans was tied so closely to that of horses that by the Victorian era, just before the advent of the ‘horseless carriage’, horses were everywhere, on every street and every road. Inns didn’t have parking lots, they had stables.
Is it any wonder, then, that lives tied so closely to horses would celebrate them in their art and their jewelry?
