Edwardian Diamond & Pearl Long Bar Brooch memento mori in the Art Nouveau styleDATE: Edwardian, c. 1910 Superb Edwardian period long bar brooch set with alternating old Euro diamonds and pearls the former in crisp millegrain platinum bezel settings, slightly graduated towards the centre. Many of the old school (traditional) antique dealers would tag this with the "needs to be [stud] earrings this one" polarising take, for sure. We've kept it as is, in original brooch form, but I'd suggest wearing it on a mid weight gold chain
