Antique Cascading Blossom Brooch, ca 1840
Our Notes
This brooch is so pretty with its cascading and colorful paste blossoms that convincingly imitate diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. Emily loves that the stones are made from colored pastes requiring no need for foil-lined settings, an indication that this brooch dates to the 19th century rather than the 18th.
The craftsmanship is high with its asymmetric composition that is further enhanced by hinges, allowing the foliage to tremble.
ca 1780

Care
As our jewelry is worn, patinas will evolve, further personalizing them to each collector. Due to the nature of foiled jewelry, care should be taken in order to keep Larkspur & Hawk jewelry from becoming harmed. A few tips:
- Remove jewelry when applying lotions, soaps and perfume
- Remove jewelry before immersing hands in cleaning solvents or liquids
- Please note that oxidation may eventually wear off of rings, then return naturally
