This remarkable artisan-crafted brooch, hallmarked in Edinburgh circa 1987, is a stunning blend of modernist design and traditional craftsmanship.

Fashioned from sterling silver, the brooch's elongated, domed form is punctuated by intricate, organic cut-outs that evoke a sense of fluidity and movement. The negative space within the design creates an interplay of light and shadow, adding depth and intrigue to the piece. The hallmark on the reverse confirms its origin and authenticity, connecting it to the rich silversmithing heritage of Scotland.

At its center, a polished oval apple green jade cabochon commands attention, its vibrant green hue exuding a natural elegance. The jade is securely bezel-set, with its smooth, rounded surface contrasting beautifully against the highly polished silver. The gemstone’s placement is deliberate, drawing the eye to the heart of the brooch while providing a sense of balance to the asymmetrical cut-out design.

The brooch’s construction showcases exceptional attention to detail. Its curved, slightly domed shape ensures it sits comfortably against the wearer, while the pin and clasp mechanism is both sturdy and discreet, designed for secure wear.
