Extremely Lifelike French 18k Gold Wild Boar Brooch

About the Item

This fanciful Mid-20th Century French creation would really look right at home on a stylish lapel or in a lush forest. It was crafted so as to be so lifelike that one would almost expect it to get up and run away. Deep texture over its entire 18k yellow gold surface simulates the coarse coat of an actual wild boar. Its eye scintillates with a .02ct single cut diamond set in a platinum bezel. The boar is very three dimensional which adds to its feel of realism. With dimensions of almost 1 3/4 inches in length by 7/8 inches in height, this brooch will never be missed when worn. Two French touch marks are to be found upon close examination. The brooch tests as 18k gold. Gross weight 15.50 grams.

Since we started to make our very first steps into the jewelry world, vintage brooches and pins have always been our favorite pieces. Wearing a brooch is a smart, unique way to express your personality and style. Pin it to your lapel, scarf or a bag, and with just one brooch alone you can create the whole new fashion piece out of any garment or accessory. Some brooches could be worn as pendants, so you get two pieces in one. A brooch is an amazing jewel that is fun, elegant and expressive at the same time. French vintage brooches are even more special to us. Being famous for its extraordinary craftsmanship, each French maker has their own recognizable take on it. Either it’s a prestigious Cartier or Van Cleef & Arpels or non-branded French brooch, we appreciate its sophisticated beauty and exquisite quality. One of our all-time favorites is a dress clip. The design came from 1920s and since then has been appreciated by the jewelry lovers for versatility and original look it provides to any style. Choose and pin down your own fabulous version of a Vintage French brooch.
