The vivid canary-yellow hue of this lovely, Victorian citrine specimen brooch or pendant is as rich and radiant as could be, thanks to the extra faceting at the back of the citrine and open gold filled setting that enhances its radiating effect. The distinctive light and clarity are made all the more impressive by its petite size and oval cut for a shining, shimmering, show-stopping piece. Condition and Quality● Bright patina with minimal surface wear to the setting. No dents. ● Fresh sheen, light surface wear, and no chipping on the natural citrine.● Secure, original clasp. Collector NoteOn Color. Color plays a key role in jewelry design and, in turn, its collectibility. Whether natural stones or glass, what exact hue of blue was used or the combination of colors can tell you what time period a piece was made. Certain shades can be more common during a particular decade, making that piece of jewelry a classic example of the period - or - conversely, a vibrant and unique shade might make it uncommon. On Victorian. A young Queen Victoria assumed her role in 1837 and her taste in jewelry quickly became culturally influential, within England and beyond. Her relationship to jewelry was enmeshed with her husband, Prince Albert, who gifted the Queen for their engagement, a snake ring, embedded with an emerald (her birthstone) in its head. Continuing from the Georgian era and intensified by Queen Victoria’s taste, sentimental and figural jewelry was a major trend throughout the Victorian era. When certain ideas and words were deemed too forward or improper to be spoken, jewelry and symbolic meaning was used to communicate what was left unsaid. _gsrx_vers_1516 (GS 9.3 (1516))
