Step into the charm of the 1870s with this delightful Victorian pique brooch! Featuring a domed design, it showcases a 14K yellow gold honeycomb center framed by a gold Greek key pattern. The brooch’s concave back is fitted with a tubular and c-clasp closure for secure wear. Even better, it transforms beautifully into a pendant when paired with a gold chain. Crafted with exceptional skill, this piece highlights the pique technique—gold and silver inlaid into shell or ivory—introduced to England by the Huguenots in the late 1600s and flourishing in the late 19th century. A beautiful nod to history!
