The main stone is a mysterious and mysterious color, a phantom glass that shines, and a large, plump heart cabochon, sapphiret.As if to protect this heart, it is surrounded by 16 faceted sapphirets. Surrounded by antique brooches.
The heart in the center is a matte brick chocolate color, and when the light shines on it, blue appears on the sides, creating a gradation, and the base chocolate color also becomes slightly pale with a pinkish tinge.
If you hold the brooch at eye level, let light in from the point of the heart, and look at it from the crack, it will appear as a deep blue over a wide area, and it is a sapphiret brooch with rich color changes. .
Saphiret is a Bohemian glass made in the Gabronz region of Czechoslovakia in the mid-19th century, and is said to have been made by mixing molten gold with sapphire-colored glass. The details of the manufacturing method are unknown and it cannot be made today, making it a collector’s item.
Due to the soaring price of gold, production ceased around the beginning of the 20th century, so jewelry using sapphiret is an antique from the Victorian, Edwardian, and Arts and Crafts eras. It is rarely seen after Art Deco.
No two sapphirets shine in the same way and have the same color, and it is said that the reason why there are variations such as strong blue, chocolate to brick-colored, and pale pink is said to be due to the difference in the composition of the gold.
