Hybrid Georgian Jade Brooch
A weird hybrid brooch fusing two elements made 100 years apart: a Georgian pearl bordered brooch, complete with inscription to the reverse, has had an Art Deco period jade disc added to the middle - likely replacing an original locket compartment. The jade features a gold centre with a Chinese character. The inscription reads: ... & Helen Woodford... 1826.
Era: Georgian, 1826. Panel circa 1920
Size: 2.3cm
Stones: Natural Pearl & Jade (variety jadeite)
Marks: None, tested as 15 carat gold
Condition: Good antique condition. The middle panel is a later addition to the brooch and the fittings obscure part of the inscription

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved and often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
