This Georgian Paste buckle brooch is a lovely antique conversion piece. In the early 1800's it would have been a buckle on a fancy shoe or dressage, before having been repurposed (most likely in the Victorian era) to be worn instead as a brooch when buckled court shoes were going out of fashion.
We love the bright cuts of the Pastes and the fine engraving work on the Silver settings, particularly on the inner edge. The stones are well matched and foiled to give them some extra punch, as was the style of the time.
Brooches are as versatile as your imagination. Wear it on a hat, bag, coat, jacket, shirt or anywhere else you can put a pin through! This will give your look a bit of genuine Georgian sparkle. Just gorgeous!
