A striking Victorian brooch modeled as an open clam shell, pavé-set with graduated turquoise cabochons in rich oceanic tones. A single natural pearl hangs from the upper ridge, giving the piece a tactile, kinetic quality — a classic 19th-century maritime motif rendered with charm and precision.
The stones are set in silver over 9ct gold, typical of the period, with a smooth domed reverse and original Victorian pin fitting. A sculptural, weighty brooch with exceptional colour.
