Borgia brooch

 

Borgia brooch

inspired by the rich decorative and decadent designs of the Italian Renaissance. Patronage by grand familes such as the Borgias led to the new designs using materials that were previously the preserve of royalty or bishops. Influences and gems came from all over the new trading routes.

This piece uses:

  • Vintage 'peking glass' floral centre
  • Czech faceted fire polished beads
  • Rose quartz and moonstone gemstone beads
  • Filigree bead tassels accents
  • Rough tumbled Baltic amber beads

SOLD
