Bourbon jewellery is characterised by very fine workmanship, despite the value of the materials used not being very high. The new manufacturing techniques of the period allowed for the creation of jewellery using thin metal foil that was cut and embossed, thereby producing items of jewellery with a limited quantity of gold but a very striking and opulent look thanks to the workmanship and the use of stones, especially the patterns of small pearls that characterised the Bourbon era. The quality of the gold is not generally very high, however it is not always easy to determine the fineness of Bourbon era jewellery because every goldsmith used their own personal gold "recipe". Despite this, this is very rare and precious jewellery - very hard to find. The gold fineness is 14 kt gold, the gold hallmark is not visible, but the originality and authenticity of the metal is guaranteed, tested with reagents in a goldsmith workshop.
