Victorian Crown Brooch with Diamond

If you love traditional brooches, consider getting a Victorian crown brooch with diamond. This is a classic style pin that has been replicated in many different materials over the years. Fans of Victorian replica jewelry should love this brooch.

The Victorian crown brooch was first introduced in the late Victorian period but was actually most popular during the Edwardian era.

The Victorian crown brooch fits the romantic gem stone jewelry that was common in the Victoria era. However, these types of brooches were also worn regularly during the Art Nouveau movement which crossed both Victorian and Edwardian eras.

The Art Nouveau movement began in 1890. During this time period brooches of mermaids, flower forms and dragons were more common than the rigid lines of a crown. Yet the crown brooch style was still present in fashion.

The Victorian crown brooch continues to appear in antique jewelry shops despite the changes in fashion over the years. At various times in fashion, replicas of the brooch were designed. The brooch was fashionable in the 1940's and then reemerged in late 1960's. In the 1980's, crown brooch replicas were back in style. Today we can still find vintage Victorian and Edwardian crown brooches.

Antique jewelry collectors will have the best luck finding a Victorian crown brooch. The best places to search for vintage crown brooches from various eras are antique stores, thrift stores, consignment shops, antique shows and flea markets. You may also want to contact antique dealers online.

Current replicas of the Victorian crown brooch are actually harder to find than older vintage originals and retro reproductions of the brooch. Search online for jewelry artists who specialize in creating Victorian and Art Nouveau replica jewelry to find a recent replica of the brooch. Some jewelry artists may also be willing to create a custom replica of the Victorian crown brooch for you.
