Antique Granulated 14K Gold Brooch Magi Astrologer Stargazer Turqoise

About the Item

This outstanding brooch is decorated with the figure of a magi pointing to the stars with a baton. The figure of the star gazer, the baton and the stars are executed in the technique of gold granulation, a technique that requires advanced craftsmanship. A thin rod of gold is heated to melting point and placed exactly at the position of the design where a tiny gold ball is desired to fall into place. To the left of the astrologer we see an extraordinary corallium rubrum bouton with a diameter of 1.6 cm. To the right of the magi we see a fine turquoise bouton with a diameter of 1.59 cm. The match of the two boutons is near perfect. On the inside of the reverse of the bottom rim of the brooch we see the maker's initials AW as well as 585 for 14K gold
