Antique Enamel Pansy Brooch of 14k Gold

An antique brooch dating to 1900–1915, featuring a beautifully rendered pansy accented with rich purple enamel and framed by luminous seed pearls, all mounted in 14K gold. The pansy was a beloved motif during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, symbolizing remembrance and affectionate thoughts, making it a meaningful and enduring floral design.

The reverse bears the maker's mark for Crane & Thuerer, a respected American jewelry manufacturer known for producing finely crafted gold and enamel jewelry during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, adding an extra layer of historical interest and collectibility.

The brooch measures approximately 0.8 inches by 0.8 inches and weighs 4.64 grams. It remains in great antique condition with the enamel and pearls beautifully preserved.

Gemstone identification has been confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique that provides a precise chemical fingerprint to verify authenticity. Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 14K gold construction.

A wonderful example of early twentieth-century American jewelry, this brooch combines symbolic floral design, exceptional enamelwork, and documented maker attribution in a timeless collectible piece.
