AN ELECTRIC AMETHYST WITH A GOTHIC TWIST: THIS 1850s BROOCH BALANCES A VIVID CENTRAL STONE WITH A BOLD BLACK-AND-WHITE ZEBRA MOTIF, SET IN SILVER OVER GOLD. VICTORIAN DRAMA, MEET MODERN ENERGY.


YOU MUST HAVE THIS because it’s an outstanding 19th Century piece with genuine presence and colour energy, not to mention a surprisingly wearable silhouette. At this price point, for this stone quality, and with this level of gender-neutral appeal, it’s a rare opportunity.

Style:
In the Gallery, we styled it on both classic tailoring and soft knits to prove its versatility, equally at home on flannel, felted wool, or poplin. Think 'serious eccentric' and try it with charcoal suiting for a graphic pop, or over a ribbed top for day-to-day contrast.
