Antique Georgian En Tremblant Flower Brooch, ca 1830
Our Notes
En tremblant is a French term that, when translated, means to tremble. Jewelry that incorporated playful movement was first seen in jewelry in the 18th century and was achieved by placing ‘tremblers’, or coiled springs, behind flower heads or insect wings. While these pieces were fragile and laborious to fabricate, they were hugely popular and are still very desirable in the eyes of collectors.
The love of nature continued in the Victorian era and so did trembling jewels. People loved the way the stones sparkled in candlelight, almost as though a gentle wind caused the movement. This brooch fits into that aesthetic and the old mine cut diamonds are set in silver with a gold washed back. The two flower heads tremble and the overall design is so lovely.
England, ca 1830
