Striking antique Victorian Revival brooch, dating to the early 20th century (circa 1905–1925), featuring an ornate openwork design inspired by Neo-Renaissance and Gothic motifs. The brooch is centered with a large cushion-cut pink paste stone that displays beautiful depth and color variation, shifting from raspberry to deep wine tones depending on the light — a hallmark of quality antique paste. The setting is crafted in a dark, richly patinated metal with warm highlights on raised details, enhancing the dramatic character of the scrolling foliate and shell motifs. Twisted rope-style accents cross the center, adding texture and visual weight to the design. The reverse features a tube hinge with a rollover safety clasp, consistent with early 20th-century construction and providing secure wearability. Unmarked, as commonly found on revival pieces of this period. The metal has not been polished and retains its original aged patina throughout.
