A striking signed Alice Caviness demi-parure curated into my personal archive. The brooch features a dramatic starburst silhouette crafted from finely coiled and fanned wirework in antique brass-tone metal, centered with brilliant watermelon Rivoli crystals that shift from vivid greens to fuchsia and gold as the light moves.
The coordinating clip-on earrings mirror the sculptural, layered design with prong-set Rivoli crystals that radiate with exceptional color play. Both pieces are signed with the Alice Caviness cartouche — a hallmark of quality, artistry, and rarity.
