Antique ruby and pearl brooch

Willis and Sons first opened in 1858 and became known as one of Australia's most respected and highly regarded jewellers, and here is a very beautiful antique ruby and pearl made by the company in the early 1900's. Made in 15 carat gold and has the most wonderful colour to it, the brooch measures 57.7mm across by 11.8mm and is so attractive and perfect for any outfit as well as any occasion. The way it has a twist design on the top bar which then goes to the lower bar on the other side, as well as the beautiful finials at each end, showcases how elegant and refined Willis made their jewellery and why it is still so highly sought after. Set with a natural ruby that is highlighted by seed pearls, this brooch is the perfect size and style to wear during the day, or with an evening dress for that special occasion, and no matter where or when it is worn, it will always remain a wonderful piece of early Australian jewellery.   Stock# R508 Maker: Willis Circa: 1900 $850
