Description
A perfectly executed Instone brooch, crafted in c1930 in silver with a sumptuous selection of blue hues of enamel. Bernard’s enamels really led the way in the return of enamel jewellery becoming hugely fashionable in the 1930s. His enamel pieces were acquired by generations of the Royal Family from Queen Mary to Queen Elizabeth II.
This is one of the finer quality enamel pieces, having a more dainty design and hours and hours of craftspersonship having gone into the enamel decoration alone. The tones of blue are light to mid blues – from turquoise to sky blue. Even the very centres of the tiny forget-me-not flowers are dabbed with a tiny touch of glassy turquoise enamel. A beautiful brooch all round.
The brooch is in excellent order and measures approx 4.3cm in diameter, so is a good size to be noticed when wearing. Pin and C clasp are original. This design was not stamped as the enamel covers all of the flat sections and there is literally nowhere to stamp the piece.
I shall include a new gift box as the boxes in the images are for display only. Complimentary tracked and signed postage is included. Thank you.
