Antique Austrian Lily of the Valley Rose gold, Diamond and Ruby Brooch

This charming antique Austrian brooch by the goldsmith Wolfgang Hueber is modelled as a lily of the valley, beautifully curved into a shape resembling the initial “C”, crafted in silver and set with bright old cut diamonds. The floral motif sparkles delicately against the warm tones of the 14ct rose gold body set with pearls and rubies. The combination of soft curves, detailed metalwork, and old cut stones gives the piece a refined yet playful character.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, jewellers frequently drew inspiration from botanical forms, translating delicate flowers into wearable works of art. Lily of the valley was especially admired for its elegant silhouette and associations with purity and sweetness. This example is made even more special by its full hallmarks for the Austrian goldsmith Wolfgang Hueber, reflecting the quality and craftsmanship of the piece.
