Exclusive to the British Museum, a delicate brooch shaped as an oak branch with crystal acorns.

This beautiful piece has been inspired by an original Victorian diamond tiara of oak leaves and acorns. The ornamental headdress, made in c.1855, is now housed in the British Museum, donated as part of the Hull Grundy Gift, and was made by jeweller Hunt and Roskell. It is designed to separate into three sprays which can be reconfigured to make one large corsage brooch or smaller individual hair combs.

This elegant brooch will make a wonderful gift.
