One on the solitary of probably the most effective identified range of jewellery by Exquisite of Solihull was the Souvenir Scottish Jewellery range.,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The most well-liked product of jewellery on this range have been the brooches which have been made much more than a extremely lengthy period.
The mixture of fortunate bright heather sprigs and/or purple flower thistles,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], all tied up using the Exquisite business mark ribbon or bow was made in the quantity of different styles.
All factors Scottish experienced turn out to be extremely well-liked by Queen Victoria's eagerness for her beloved estate Balmoral,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and also this reputation ongoing in to the twentieth century
Exquisite made gilt jewellery from 1914,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],and preceding to relocating to Solihull through the fifties was presently developing souvenirs from their premises in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. instead a few of those souvenir brooches have been marketed in Scotland and have been extensively supplied in the quantity of small souvenir shops. through the total amount in Birmingham jointly with other areas - I think they have been also readily supplied throughout the sleep inside the UK.
So much I have counted in the lowest a dozen different types inside the Scottish brooch. just one supply confirms that three brooches have been listed in 1962. These brooches might have "EXQUISITE" and "REG" using the duplicate perfect hint inside the back. The design and design quantities have been 905225,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 905226 and 905227.
However instead a few inside the brooches have "EXQUISITE" signed inside the back again inside the brooch only without getting a duplicate perfect mark
Some have Exquisite in script on the flatter plaque without any duplicate perfect sign.
You may uncover brooches that are unsigned getting a riveted pin fastening - denoting an an amazing offer earlier day most in all probability pre 1950s.
Early brooches are also different in how the pin is in the gilt or gold metal. precisely where since the afterwards brooches, the pin is going to be identical color since the brooch (silver) Also variations through the production processes could possibly be seen. Earlier brooches have been cast on the an amazing offer flatter plate than afterwards brooches, which possess a an amazing offer more rounder and sharper type toward the back
More research is even now required to confirm dating and reg quantities to designs.
The brooches have been all hand enamelled and so not just can instead a few different styles be collected but every solitary will possess a slight big difference in colour. Some inside the brooches have amethyst purple coloured faceted decanter or wineglass stones. once more several of those stones undoubtedly are a extremely pale pink ranging to dim purple in colour
The brooches differ from the way in which the ribbon is wrapped near to them along using the quantity of sprigs of fortunate bright heather. Brooches are also supplied in the basket design, that are slightly rarer compared to floral bunches.
When I am discussing the Scottish brooch range I am only referring toward the kinds that are enamelled and have heather or thistles, with or without getting purple decanter or wineglass stones in silver or gold tone metal.
Exquisite also made a range of Scottish themed jewellery extremely comparable to "Miracle" jewellery with faux stones for example turquoise and agate which appear instead different. These have been made by Exquisite through the previous due sixties to seventies once the increase in Miracle's reputation started out to effect on their sales, and using the affordable imports in to the british of jewellery. eventually mixed toward the demise of the Exquisite range.
Vintage jewellery from Exquisite is effortless to collect and extremely rewarding, as they made some amazing and conventional pieces for much more than sixty years.
