A Victorian antique brooch with a sepia-toned monochrome portrait of a lady in a small round frame.

When I look at old portraits, my thoughts naturally float around about the relationship between the past and the present, time, the existence of myself and the world, history, etc., and I feel like I'm traveling through time, or rather, traveling through space and time. It becomes a feeling.

It's like I'm dreaming. Reality or illusion? It's like there are secrets, mysteries, and mysterious treasures here.

As this is an old item, the clasp part of the pin on the brooch is C-shaped rather than rotating. It comes with a silicone catch to prevent it from falling.

A large Saphiret with a diameter of approximately 9 mm that resembles an observatory dome with a rare triangular bevel cut, and two Saphiret with a faceted cut of approximately 4.5 mm in diameter. Antique brooch of Saphiret with a simple and elegant design.

Around the center saphiret glass is a silver-colored marcasite-like metal detail ring.

Saphiret is a Bohemian glass made in the Gavronz region of Czechoslovakia in the mid-19th century, and is said to have been made by mixing molten gold with sapphire-colored glass, but the details of the manufacturing method are unknown. It is now a collector's item as it is no longer possible to make it.

Due to the soaring price of gold, production ceased around the beginning of the 20th century, so jewelry using saphiret glass is an antique from the Victorian, Edwardian, and Arts and Crafts eras. It is rarely seen after Art Deco.

The reason why there are variations in the color of Saphiret, with some having a strong blue color and others having a strong chocolate to brick color, is said to be due to the difference in the amount of gold in the mixture, but this product has a brighter pinkish mocha color. and light blue can be seen in a good balance.

The cut of the central saphiret glass is unique, so the color changes depending on the angle of light and viewing angle, which is very rhythmic.
