AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exquisite Georgian Sterling silver Star burst brooch embellished with white paste in excellent condition.
Stones have not been tested, however it looks like it has a black dot inside.
“An exceptional Georgian star brooch set with white paste gemstones . It's crafted in sterling silver, made in England - by hand - in the first half of the 19th century, circa 1810. Made at a time when the precision of machines didn't apply to production of such small articles, but the skill of the artisan craftsmen was such that they turned out near-perfect every time.
The brooch was made at a time when paste gems could command as much (if not more) than natural gemstones, on account of the technology being so new and that the stones would be completely clear and free from inclusions.”
Secure pin and C clasp
Not Hallmarked but tested as sterling silver.
Length approximately 3 centimetres
Weight approximately 7.9 grams

Seller's Story
Executive summary:
Our mission is to empower discerning individuals to invest in the enduring beauty and appreciating value of unique antique jewellery, championing a sustainable future by celebrating the artistry and history of each eco-friendly treasure.
Our vision is to be recognised as a leader in sustainable luxury, transforming the perception of antique jewellery from mere adornment to a cherished, appreciating investment that enriches lives, preserves history, and champions environmental stewardship for generations to come.
Our core proposition lies in the inherent appreciation of antique jewellery's value over time. Unlike modern, mass-produced items, antique pieces benefit from scarcity, unparalleled craftsmanship, and significant historical provenance, ensuring their rarity and desirability only increase. This appreciation is further bolstered by the rising global value of gold and precious gemstones, which form the intrinsic foundation of these timeless treasures. Investors can realise substantial profits as both the material worth and the artistic/historical value of these pieces continue to climb.
Beyond the compelling financial returns, our venture strongly emphasises the profound ecological advantages of investing in antique jewellery. By acquiring and re-circulating existing pieces, we actively promote a circular economy, drastically reducing the environmental impact associated with new mining and manufacturing processes. This eco-friendly approach resonates deeply with a growing demographic of conscious consumers and investors seeking to make responsible choices.
Furthermore, each piece of antique jewellery tells a unique story, embodying a rich cultural history and exquisite artistry that transcends fleeting trends. This distinctiveness provides an unparalleled allure for discerning individuals seeking not just an investment, but a tangible connection to the past and a statement of individuality.
