The International Exhibition: emerald and diamond brooch exhibited by Mr. Harry Emanuel, 1862. Creator: Unknown

The International Exhibition: emerald and diamond brooch exhibited by Mr. Harry Emanuel, 1862....a brooch formed of a very large emerald, said to be singularly free from flaws and mounted on a ribbon formed of large brilliants, having also, as a pendant, a very large but uneven pearl of a drop shape, two inches in length, of fair colour, but somewhat wanting in orient tint and brilliancy. The emerald weighs one hundred and sixty carats, and the price set upon this jewel by Mr. Emanuel is the very large sum of £10, 000...We may here state that Mr. Emanuel, in common with the other exhibitors of English jewellery, has shown a marked improvement in taste and workmanship, and that their jewels will bear comparison - if indeed they do not surpass - the best examples exhibited by foreigners'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of jewelry from the 1862 International Exhibition. The emerald and diamond brooch, exhibited by Mr. Harry Emanuel, is truly a sight to behold. The brooch features an exceptionally large emerald that is said to be flawlessly pure, mounted on a ribbon adorned with magnificent brilliants. As a pendant, it boasts an uneven but striking drop-shaped pearl measuring two inches in length. While the pearl may lack some orient tint and brilliance, its fair color still adds to the allure of this exquisite piece. What makes this brooch even more extraordinary is its weight - an astonishing one hundred and sixty carats! Such rarity comes at a price though; Mr. Emanuel has valued this jewel at the staggering sum of £10,000. It's worth noting that Mr. Emanuel's craftsmanship demonstrates significant improvement in taste and workmanship compared to other English jewelry exhibitors at the time. In fact, their creations can easily rival or even surpass those displayed by foreign artisans. This fascinating snapshot provides us with a glimpse into the cultural event of the 19th century - The International Exhibition held in London in 1862. It was here that artists and craftsmen from around the world gathered to showcase their talents and creations. As we admire this print today, we are reminded of how artistry transcends time and continues to captivate audiences across generations. This brooch serves as both a testament to human creativity and as an enduring symbol of beauty preserved through history.
