Antique Edwardian 15ct Gold Tourmaline Wing Brooch
Description
This elegant Edwardian brooch is a beautifully symbolic jewel, crafted in rich 15ct yellow gold and designed as a pair of outstretched wings. Each wing is delicately set with tiny natural seed pearls, creating soft shimmer and texture as they taper outward in graceful curves. At the centre rests a striking round blue tourmaline, its vivid colour bringing depth and brilliance to the design.
THE SYMBOLISM OF WINGS
Wing jewellery was treasured throughout the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, worn as tokens of protection, guidance, hope, and spiritual connection. Wings were associated with guardian angels, safe travels, and messages of love — an expression of being watched over or carried through life’s transitions. This piece captures that sentiment beautifully, combining meaning with exquisite craftsmanship.
TOURMALINE
Tourmaline has fascinated jewellers for centuries. Once mistaken for emerald by Spanish explorers in the 1500s, it was later recognised in the 1800s as a gemstone family celebrated for its extraordinary spectrum of colours. Blue tourmaline is one of its rarer hues — symbolic of calm, clarity, and emotional balance. It is the birthstone for October and the traditional gemstone for the eighth wedding anniversary.
An exquisite blend of symbolism, light, and colour, this Edwardian wing brooch is a wearable keepsake of sentiment and history.
