Antique 800 Silver Fleur-de-Lis Brooch with Persian Turquoise – 19th Century European Design

An exquisite example of 19th-century European craftsmanship, this antique 800 silver brooch features a classic fleur-de-lis motif meticulously set with natural Persian turquoise cabochons in luminous shades of robin’s-egg blue and sea-green. Each stone is individually hand-set into the scrolling silver framework, creating a richly textured and timeless design.

Crafted from hallmarked 800 silver, this piece likely originates from the Austro-Hungarian or French region, dating to the mid-to-late 1800s. The intricate silverwork and balanced proportions reflect the elegance and refinement of the era.

The brooch secures with a traditional C-clasp and extended pin stem, consistent with authentic Victorian construction. While one turquoise bead is missing and the silver shows a gentle, aged patina, these subtle traces of time only enhance its antique charm and provenance.
