Available from Isadora's Antique Jewlery when we last checked, in the last two days. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

Dated 1910, this silver brooch captures the Edwardian fascination with lightness, delicacy, and nature-inspired design. Brilliant blue zircons form the center of a stylized flower, surrounded by leaf-shaped elements set with clear paste stones. The brooch's openwork construction is particularly characteristic of the period. Rather than creating a heavy, solid form, the jeweler used slender, curving leaves and open-backed gemstone settings to add dimension while maintaining an airy appearance. Vi
