Brooch
Possibly England, c. 1890
Diamond, platinum, gold
Gift of the Stephen Phillips Memorial Charitable Trust for Historic Preservation

Anna Pingree Peabody most likely brought this platinum and gold brooch, set with fourteen carats of diamonds, home from a European excursion in the 1890s. Upon her death in 1911 she left it, along with much of her fine jewelry, to her niece, Anna Wheatland Phillips.
