Classic Art Deco, this antique brooch combines a wonderful classical portrait with an intricate filigree frame. The gold is yellow, with tints of green on the small, detailed leaves. The floral motif is carried over in to the lady’s hair, with carefully carved roses perfectly placed to take advantage of the color of the shell. A white gold ‘barette’ has been inlaid with diamonds and set in the ladies hair!
Love this piece but want to make it more versatile, we here at Market Square Jewelers along with our master metalsmiths can convert this fantastic brooch into a necklace or pendant for an additional fee, please contact Alex for more information!
