Product Information
This exquisite antique Chinese enamel empress nail guard brooch is a stunning piece of jewelry hailing from the 19th century Qing dynasty, a time when China was known for its rich culture and unparalleled craftsmanship. The nail guard, originally designed to protect the long nails of imperial ladies, has been masterfully repurposed into a brooch, making it a unique and versatile accessory that carries with it a touch of regal elegance.
The brooch is carefully crafted from high-quality metal, which serves as the perfect base for the intricate enamel work. The enamel on this piece boasts a delightful array of colors, featuring a captivating blend of blues, greens, yellows, and reds that come together to form a harmonious, eye-catching design. The use of traditional Chinese motifs such as flowers, leaves, and intricate patterns imbue the brooch with a distinct sense of cultural authenticity.
