circa 1870s
This exquisite antique en tremblant floral brooch is a magnificent example of Victorian era craftsmanship and aristocratic style. The term en tremblant – French for “to tremble” – refers to the delicate design that allows the flower heads to gently move with each motion, producing a subtle, shimmering effect.
Expertly handcrafted in silver and gold, this elaborate brooch is set with numerous old mine cut and rose cut diamonds. The upper spray of flowers is detachable, allowing the piece to be worn in two different ways either as a complete, dramatic brooch or as a smaller, more refined jewel.
A masterpiece of 19th century jewelry design, this brooch beautifully embodies the elegance, innovation, and opulence of the Victorian period.
