Rare brooch celebrating Edward VII’s coronation to go under the hammer at Fellows

All

Fellows’ upcoming Antique & Modern Jewellery sale features a stunning brooch, made to commemorate the coronation of Edward VII. The early 20th century gold brooch features beautiful diamond and enamel, with a sublime admirable surround. The alluring piece features ruby and demantoid garnet, which is used in a lot of jewellery of that time.
The enamel is in great condition, and the three central stones depict England, Scotland and Ireland. The shamrock and thistle wreath surround the crown with English roses inter spaced.
