This exquisite Art Deco brooch, crafted in sterling silver, captures the refined elegance and intricate craftsmanship of early 20th-century jewelry. Its shape is an elongated octagon with gently cut corners, giving it a distinctive geometric structure characteristic of the Art Deco period.

The brooch’s face is dominated by an elaborate openwork pattern, meticulously formed in delicate filigree. Central to the design are stylized floral motifs that evoke a sense of organic beauty, with carefully arranged petals and leaves interwoven in a symmetrical layout.

The floral elements are not merely flat; they exhibit a three-dimensional quality, as the silver rises and falls in graceful contours.

Each floral pattern and scroll is meticulously encrusted with marcasite stones, which are individually set and precisely positioned to catch the light at different angles. Marcasite, known for its subtle, metallic sparkle, enhances the brooch's overall vintage charm, lending it an understated shimmer rather than the intense sparkle of diamonds.

This choice of stone reflects the refined taste of the era, favoring elegance over ostentation.

The border of the brooch mirrors the central design, forming a continuous row of marcasite stones set along the edges, which frames the floral pattern and adds a sense of unity to the piece.

This brooch exemplifies the elegance of the Art Deco period, with its blend of geometric structure and naturalistic themes, meticulous marcasite detailing, and fine openwork craftsmanship.

Measurements :The brooch measures 3.8cm x 2.3cm .Brooch with a total weight of 8.3grams.
