Victorian 18k Gold Tassel Earrings brutalist An incredible antique harlequin brooch

An incredible antique harlequin brooch modelled as a sword

The stone rests in a platinum bezel setting

Made at a time when paste gemstones could and would command higher prices than their naturally occurring gem counterparts

Along with the usual Olympian traits of superhuman strength

with triangular facets on the pavilion designed to accentuate the shimmering orange colour play as it moves in the light
