Emanating the romantic elegance of the Renaissance Revival period, this extraordinary "Holbeinesque" brooch is modeled after the archetypal "Chariot of Venus" motif, depicting the goddess of love drawn by two doves. At the heart of the design lies a large 30mm blister pearl, surrounded by vibrant gemstones, including Mexican fire opal, emeralds, rubies, pink sapphires and diamonds, carefully set in yellow gold and silver. Rich enameling adds depth and brilliance, creating an eye-catching treasure with old-world allure. "Holbeinesque" describes jewelry that embodies the style or echoes the designs featured in the portraits of Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/98–1543), the celebrated German-Swiss painter and printmaker. Holbein is best known for his highly detailed and realistic portraits, often capturing the court of Henry VIII of England.
