TASSEL & TARGET BROOCH NECKLACE
These two small Victorian sterling silver Target brooches have been converted to bring their historical charm into modern fashion. Each brooch features the iconic target design, with a central bullseye and radiating concentric circles, echoing the beauty of ancient Etruscan and Viking jewellery. To complete this ensemble, a delicate silver tassel adds a touch of sophistication and movement.
From the 1860s onwards, wearing brooches at the neck with a high collar became a hallmark of Victorian fashion. Target brooches, in particular, were highly sought after for their distinctive design. The concept of a target, inspired by the cross-section pattern of a tree trunk, symbolized precision and focus. This motif was not only popular in sports but also in jewellery design, reflecting the Victorian fascination with nature and ancient cultures.
The Victorian era was a time of profound appreciation for art and history. Jewellery was often inspired by archaeological discoveries from Etruscan and Viking sites, and Target brooches were designed to emulate these ancient styles. The bullseye design, with its concentric circles, represented a timeless aesthetic that transcended centuries. These brooches were more than mere adornments; they were expressions of the wearer's connection to history and their appreciation for intricate craftsmanship.
Perfect for those who appreciate the beauty of antique jewellery and the stories they carry; each piece created by Flew Designs is a testament to the Victorian era's rich heritage and the timeless appeal of well-crafted jewellery.
