Antique 18k Gold Brooch Pair, Peruvian Peasant Couple Pins, 18 ct Solid Gold Ethnic Jewellery, Folk Charm c.1900s, South America Treasure

An exquisite antique pair of solid 18k gold brooches, beautifully depicting a traditional Peruvian peasant couple in miniature form. Handcrafted with remarkable detail, each figure is adorned in stylised attire and carries a bundle, rendered with fine texture and delightful character.

These charming pins are crafted in solid 18k gold (acid tested positive for 18k or higher) and date back to the early 20th century. With their folkloric charm and small wearable scale, they make a wonderfully rare addition to any vintage jewellery collection, perfect worn together as a pair or gifted as a symbolic his-and-hers treasure.

They are both in good antique/used condition, with small signs of age, to which, in my opinion, only add to their antique magic and splendour. (Antique items are almost always pre-worn and will typically show some degree of wear, please refer to the images for full detail.)

Material: Solid 18k gold (acid tested)
Motif: Peruvian peasant couple
Era: Antique, early 1900s

These are true collector’s pieces, full of cultural resonance and handmade elegance. A rare pairing not often seen in gold, and especially not in such fine, wearable form.
