A gentle and soft hue of lilac to the central cushion cut amethyst, with lovely rounded corners and held in a collect/crimped edge setting. Hugging this central amethyst is a sea of lustrous seed pearls, each one completely unique, with good nacre and a moonlike shimmer.
Framing this central adornment are sixteen flat cut garnets, carefully framed in a collet setting with crimped edges and a closed back. To the rear of the piece is the base metal pin, with a tube hinge and a c-catch fastening, the pin itself extending beyond the edge of the piece, traditional to a brooch of this era.
