Elegant Antique French Brooch in Pomponne Metal – Victorian Era Treasure

Embrace the timeless allure of this exquisite antique French brooch, a remarkable piece from the Victorian era. With dimensions of 1″ (2.6 cm) by 1″ (2.6 cm), it’s a charming accessory that stands the test of time.

Crafted from “pomponne” metal, a copper-based alloy invented by two ingenious French goldsmiths in the late 18th century, this brooch replicates the opulence of gold and silver. The use of pomponne metal was a common practice in crafting 19th-century jewelry.

This 8 tips star-shaped brooch boasts delicate openwork, adorned with intricate scrolls and floral motifs, beautifully accented in two shades of gold: rose gold and yellow gold, a tiny pearl is set in the center. The result is a harmonious blend of elegance and sophistication.
