18ct Gold and Diamond Guitar Brooch

This exceptional Antique 18ct Gold and Diamond Guitar Brooch is a masterclass in Edwardian-era craftsmanship, making it a standout piece among Fine Brooches in Ireland.

Crafted in London in the early 1900s by the renowned Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Company Ltd, who held a Royal Appointment to H.M. The King, this brooch represents the pinnacle of Historical Jewellery Design.

The hollow-bodied guitar is exquisitely detailed and set with a delicate border of Old Rose-Cut Diamonds, prized for their soft, romantic glow and hand-cut character. These diamonds, typical of the era, display subtle inclusions and warm brilliance that reflect their antique origin rather than modern uniformity.

The articulated gold strings remain movable—an extraordinary and playful detail that highlights the skill and imagination of the original maker.

This has been designed as a novelty brooch, and this piece effortlessly blends elegance with personality. It is ideal for collectors of Antique Jewellery, music lovers, or anyone seeking a meaningful heirloom with charm and rarity. It measures 50mm x 15mm and weighs 8.3 gram. It can be worn on a lapel, silk blouse, evening dress, or even as a statement piece on a scarf or coat.

Dating back to the early 1900s, the brooch is in excellent condition, with only a small historical filing mark on the reverse—likely a gold test—adding to its authenticity and survival story. Originally boxed and increasingly hard to find, this is a truly special piece that will never go out of style.
