介绍（中）	这枚胸针是半胸针的一部分，还包括一对耳钉和耳环。所有元素都有一个金色的扇形底座，上面有叶子边框，珊瑚圆柱体安装在铸造和追逐的浆果和叶子簇下方的中心。套房保留了其原始的皮套，内衬浅绿色缎子和天鹅绒，并用金色字母标有纽约市珠宝商Ball，Black & Co.的名称和地址。古典文明认为珊瑚具有治疗和治疗能力，自古以来就被用作装饰品，珊瑚是维多利亚时代美国珠宝设计的主要内容。珊瑚是一种有机宝石，是被称为"息肉"的微小海洋动物的骨架。在十九世纪中叶，当这个半帕鲁尔被制造出来时，珊瑚主要从那不勒斯周围的地中海水域收获。Ball， Black & Co.等美国珠宝商进口了那不勒斯珊瑚，并将宝石镶嵌在自己设计的镶座上。悬挂在胸针和耳环上的铰接尖头吊坠呼应了 19 世纪中叶"考古"风格珠宝的趋势。[1] [1] Martha Gandy Fales， "Jewelry in America" （Woodbridge， Suffolk： Antique Collectors' Club， 1995）， 237-238.
介绍（英）	This brooch is part of a demi-parure that also includes a pair of studs and earrings. All elements have a gold scalloped base chased with a foliate border, as well as coral cylinders mounted at the center beneath cast and chased clusters of berries and leaves. The suite retains its original leather case, which is lined in pale green satin and velvet, and is marked in gold letters with the name and address of New York City jewelers Ball, Black & Co. Believed by classical civilizations to possess therapeutic and apotropaic powers and used as ornament since ancient times, coral was a staple of jewelry design in Victorian America. Coral is an organic gem, the skeleton of tiny marine animals called 'polyps.' During the mid-nineteenth century, when this demi-parure was fabricated, coral was mainly harvested from the Mediterranean waters surrounding Naples. American jewelers like Ball, Black & Co. imported Neapolitan coral and set the gems in mountings of their own design. The articulated, pointed pendants suspended from the brooch and earrings speak to the mid-nineteenth century trend of 'archaeological' style jewelry.
