One of the nicest pieces of art deco inspired art moderne or retro era jewelry I've had in quite sometime, this impressive brooch or large pin dates to the 1930s or 40s and measures an ample 2 1/4" in diameter.
The heavy brooch is stamped "STERLING" silver on the back and was purchased with the Pennino demi parure found if you click to my other auctions. It's a fabulous starburst or sunburst design with a somewhat worn gold wash or vermeill.
Perhaps a piece of early Trifari? Unsure, but it is a fine quality piece with two part construction as is illustrated in my photos. Three secure rivets hold the center piece to the back piece. It has a circle in the center that's opne with a row of deep amethyst navettes or marquise paste glass stones encircling it. The outer ring is the burst design with pink faceted crystal or paste stones, and all the stones are openbacked like fine jewelry. At the edge of the brooch are clear rhinestones.
In good condition, the brooch is lovely as it is. However, there are two small apologies to be made. One, it has one clear stone and one purple stone missing, and two, as mentioned, the vermeill is slightly worn. The stones should be relatively easy to replce if desired, and the finish is fine and very pretty as it is.
Heavy and lovely, this would be terrific on a coat or blazer this Fall and Winter. In a boutique or high couture shop, this calibre of jewelry would sell for $250 to $500! |
