Antique Carved Coral, Gold, and Diamond Cherub Brooch
About the Item
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 14 K 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.
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.
Description:
Carved coral cherub, approximately 79.0 x 45.0 x 38.0 mm (3 x 1 3/4 inches), rose-cut diamonds. Gold tests as 14K. Weight 50.7 grams.
Coral: medium-deep, slightly pinkish orange, with good to medium luster. Nice carving in high relief. There is a visible crack across the right wing and a crack on the left side under the diamond necklace. Previous repairs are visible on the reverse, and there is a solder repair on a gold panel.
