Antique Carved Coral Sciacca, Gold, and Diamond Cherub Brooch
Located in Chesterland, OH
We present a true work of art to your attention - a rare and unique brooch carved from a single Italian Mediterranean coral Sciacca. This antique brooch, made in the form of a putto - a little boy angel with a diamond necklace, is imbued with the spirit of the times and the sophistication of the Renaissance when images of cherubs in the form of winged babies were especially popular.
Exquisite hand carving amazes with its high detail and craftsmanship. Every element—from the soft features of the angel's face to the finest lines of the wings—conveys the magnificence of the master's work. The brooch is fixed on 14K gold, which gives it strength despite a crack in the wing and small damage in the area of the necklace, which is quite acceptable for such a venerable age and does not spoil this work of art in any way.
This angel once soared in the heavens, but time has left its mark on his delicate wing. Perhaps this crack is a silent witness to the trials he has endured, making him not just a piece of jewelry, but a symbol of resilience and timeless beauty. There is a unique charm in this imperfection—a story that transforms him into something greater than just an adornment.
The history of this jewelry is shrouded in mystery. Perhaps this cherub was created in the 18th century, or its history goes even further into the depths of the centuries. The 14K gold clasp was probably added in the 20th century, giving the brooch extra security and preserving it for future generations.
This is not just a piece of jewelry; it is a unique artifact with a soul that takes you back to the past, preserving a piece of history and craftsmanship from long-gone eras.

Vintage brooches, which refer to decorative jewelry traditionally pinned to garments and used to fasten pieces of clothing together where needed, have seen increasing popularity in recent years.
While jewelry trends come and go, brooches are indeed back on the radar thanks to fashion houses like Gucci, Versace, Dior and Saint Laurent, all of which feature fun pinnable designs in their current collections. Whether a dazzlingly naturalistic Art Nouveau dragonfly, a whimsical David Webb animal, a gem-studded bloom or a streamlined abstract design, these jewels add color and sparkle to your look and a spring to your step.
Given their long history, brooches have expectedly taken on a variety of different shapes and forms over time, with jewelers turning to assorted methods of ornamentation for these accessories, including enameling and the integration of pearls and gemstones.
Cameo brooches that originated during the Victorian age are characterized by a shell carved in raised relief that feature portraits of a woman’s profile, while 19th-century micromosaic brooches, comprising innumerable individually placed glass fragments, sometimes feature miniature depictions of a pastoral scene in daily Roman life.
At one time, brooches were symbols of wealth, made primarily from the finest metals and showcasing exquisite precious gemstones. Today, these jewels are inclusive and universal, and you don’t have to travel very far to find an admirer of brooches. They can be richly geometric in form, such as the ornate diamond pins dating from the Art Deco era, or designer-specific, such as the celebrated naturalistic works created by Tiffany & Co., the milk glass and gold confections crafted by Trifari or handmade vintage Chanel brooches of silk or laminated sheer fabric. Chanel, of course, has never abandoned this style, producing gorgeously baroque CC examples since the 1980s.
Brooches are versatile and adaptable. These decorative accessories can be worn in your hair, on hats, scarves and on the lower point of V-neck clothing. Pin a dazzling brooch to the lapel of your blazer-and-tee combo or add a cluster of smaller pins to your overcoat. And while brooches have their place in “mourning jewelry,” in that a mourning brooch is representative of your connection to a lost loved one, they’re widely seen as romantic and symbolic of love, so much so that a hardcore brooch enthusiast might advocate for brooches to be worn over the heart.
Today, find a wide variety of antique and vintage brooches for sale on 1stDibs, including gold brooches, sapphire brooches and more.
