Gold brooch with cobalt glass and rose diamond, 14 kt
Product information
This Victorian-era brooch evokes a starry sky and features pink diamonds set on cobalt-blue glass.
Rings in the same style, with precious diamonds and cobalt-blue (or sometimes purple) glass, were popular in the 18th century and were known as “bague au firmament” or “ring of the heavens”.
Bague au firmament rings were based on an original design made for Marie Antoinette, a gift from her husband Louis XVI. Bague au firmament rings can even be seen on Marie Antoinette’s hand in portrait paintings of the French queen. Because of the fragility of cobalt glass in a ring, a brooch was (and still is) a charming yet practical way to give your loved one the feeling of all the stars in the sky.
