Antique 18ct Gold Ruby & Seed Pearl Brooch Boxed – Stylised Acorn Motif | Natural Unheated Ruby

A beautifully crafted late-Victorian brooch in rich 18ct gold with a rosy hint, designed in a charming stylised acorn motif. Two luminous seed pearls form the rounded “cap,” while a vivid natural, unheated ruby creates the elegant tapered drop beneath. A delicate gold curl at the top completes the silhouette, evoking the acorn’s symbolic stem.

The ruby displays a bright pinkish-red hue with lovely inner fire, contrasted by the soft iridescence of the pearls. The slender 18ct gold bar provides a classic Victorian setting, allowing the gemstone cluster to stand out while keeping the piece refined and wearable.

Perfect for a lapel, blouse or knitwear, this petite brooch carries the Victorian symbolism of the acorn — prosperity, new beginnings, and growth — making it a meaningful gift or a thoughtful addition to a curated antique collection.
