Antique Bronze-Tone Filigree Oval Brooch Iridescent Abalone Cabochon Edwardian

The stone shifts from blue to green to silver depending on how the light catches it � that kind of iridescence is rare in a piece this old.

An Edwardian filigree brooch in bronze-tone metal, with a large oval cabochon at the centre. The openwork frame is pierced with scrollwork and scalloped edges � a style associated with early 20th century decorative metalwork.

The construction is solid. The c-clasp on the back has full roll-over closure, which holds reliably.

The scale fits naturally at a neckline or on a lapel. The iridescent stone catches light differently with every movement, so it works as a single focal piece rather than layered. Reads well on dark wool or silk � the bronze frame grounds the colour shift of the stone.
