The Pink Cavalier Bead Embroidered Brooch

There is something wonderfully swaggering about this piece. The strong pointed silhouette gives it presence, while the exuberant pinks and purples prevent it from ever becoming too serious.

A large luminous pink cabochon crowns the brooch, surrounded by layers of rosy seed beads and a radiating fringe of softly lustrous glass. Beneath it, coral crescents, violet rounds and a glittering central cabochon create a richly ornamented transition to the elongated focal below.

The lower section introduces the unexpected element: an intricately patterned cabochon in cream and deep plum, bordered with faceted purple beads and dark blue detailing. Its sharp point gives structure to all that colour and ornamentation, producing a piece that feels flamboyant but beautifully balanced.

Measuring approximately 7.5 cm long × 5 cm wide, The Pink Cavalier is a confident statement brooch, particularly striking against black, charcoal or other dark fabrics.

Dashing, decorative and unapologetically extravagant.
