Victorian Tiffany & Co. Enamel Peony Brooch band rings The term plique-à-jour literally translatesDATE: Victorian, c. 1890 A stunning antique Tiffany & Co. flower brooch by G. Paulding Farnum. Dating from the late 19th century, the peony's petals are beautifully constructed in 14k gold and exquisitely rendered in purple enamel, paling towards the centre.
