This brooch is an exceptional example of Art Deco craftsmanship, showcasing the era's defining characteristics of geometric precision, elegance, and the interplay of light and texture.

The brooch features a circular base in silver-plated metal with a slightly oxidized patina, which lends an antique aura and enhances its vintage appeal.

At the center, a highly detailed three-dimensional female face is sculpted in relief. Her features are strikingly serene yet expressive, with elongated almond-shaped eyes, an elegantly arched nose, and delicately defined lips.

The smooth, streamlined contours of her face reflect the sleek modernity characteristic of the Art Deco movement, while her slightly lowered gaze imparts a sense of quiet sophistication.

Her hair is a true focal point, styled in dynamic, sweeping waves that frame her face with an almost architectural precision. These waves are meticulously accented with raised, bead-like details that imitate marcasites, creating an illusion of shimmering gemstones.

The marcasite-inspired embellishments follow the flowing lines of the hair, enhancing the sense of movement and adding texture and contrast to the silver surface.

Beneath her face, a choker necklace design, also adorned with marcasite-style studs, sits at the neckline, further emphasizing the brooch’s luxurious aesthetic.

The placement of these accents creates a rhythm of sparkling highlights against the darker silver background, a hallmark of Deco design's fascination with light and shadow.

The circular backdrop serves as a minimal yet impactful frame for the central portrait. Its clean, unadorned surface contrasts beautifully with the intricate details of the face and hair, drawing the viewer's attention inward.

The oxidized finish on the base adds depth, enhancing the relief work and creating a layered effect that brings the design to life.
