Dutch region specific antique brooch

This jewel is typical of Zeeland, the southernmost coastal province of the Netherlands (Holland). Dutch regional jewellery has a distinctive look and is easily recognisable to the trained eye. This brooch is truly one-of-a-kind, as we have never encountered this type of jewel set with so many diamonds before. It must have been custom-made around 1850 for a very wealthy woman and can be worn both as a brooch and as a pendant.
