This elegant vintage brooch features a beautifully sculpted 1/20 14K gold filled setting, showcasing a deep ruby-red cabochon centerpiece framed by delicate scrollwork and elongated leaf motifs. The design evokes a graceful Art Nouveau–inspired aesthetic, with soft curves and symmetrical lines that give the piece a refined, timeless presence.
At the center sits a luminous oval cabochon in a rich garnet tone. While untested, the stone presents the classic deep wine color associated with garnet and complements the warm gold setting beautifully.
The brooch has a slightly thicker, well-constructed pin and setting, giving it a substantial feel while remaining elegant and wearable. Pieces crafted in 1/20 14K gold filled were designed for durability and long-lasting wear, offering the beauty of gold with excellent longevity.
This is a versatile collector’s piece that works beautifully on a blazer lapel, silk blouse, scarf, or hat.
