This Victorian Etruscan Revival brooch is crafted in 18k yellow gold, weighs 3.9g and measures 53mm long, 10mm wide and 6mm deep. Characteristic of the 1890's Victorian bar brooches, this authentic pin incorporates a horizontal gold bar exposing an immaculately crafted, distinctively positioned floret at the center. This refined and classically elegant Victorian brooch is inspired by Etruscan Revival style, rendered in matted textured yellow gold. The centrally positioned floret is enhanced by delicate granulation accents while the enchanting cylindrical bar surface is decorated with temptingly delicate scrolls in twisted gold wire, creating a fascinating design. A well-constructed hinged pin and a C-hook clasp secure this Victorian Etruscan Revival bar brooch of exquisite artisanship and refinement.

Bar brooches enjoyed great popularity in the last decade of the 19th century and were produced in a variety of designs. In their simplest form, these brooches were plainly set with a single diamond but their functional shape offered Victorian jewelers a field in which to exploit their far-reaching fantasy and imagination. Thus bar brooches were decorated with crescents and stars, sprays of leaves and flowers, birds and insects and other motifs. They remained in vogue for several decades and were revived during the Art Deco era, produced with innovative geometric and color-contrasted inspirations by Art Deco jewelry designers.
