Nephrite, Coral and Diamond brooch

About the Item

Exquisite naturalistic hardstone brooch. An orange/red coral frog is shown perched upon an intricately and realistically carved nephrite jade leaf. The leaf is adorned with two brilliant white substantial diamonds representing water droplets. The effect is quite striking yet very natural as well. Perched on the is an extremely well carved coral frog. This is sensitively carved taking in the white markings of the coral to emphasize the mouth and the tail end of the animal rather than randomly placed. The frog is very well proportioned. The style, quality and sensitivity to the materials is very reminiscent of the production the Faberge hardstone work master Henrik Wigstrom. This is a lovely subtility lavish little piece of unusually high-quality workmanship. Size: Approximately 41mm X 41mm x 19mm high Style: Naturalistic Materials: jade, coral and diamonds.

Gold, diamond and turquoise brooch
Located in New Orleans, LA
Lovely and substantial 18kt gold brooch. The brooch itself is modeled in a five “petal” form with a center stone of very fine turquoise. The petal form segments are divided by diamonds. Each division consisting of three graduated white brilliant fiery stones. Each petal is exquisitely hand chased in an overlapping zig zag pattern. Very fine craftsmanship. There is no stamp, but I have seen an almost exact Tiffany piece. It could be from the same vendor probably in Italy as many of Tiffany’s smaller items were crafted in foreign workshops and retailed by Tiffany. This is suitable for women as well as for lapel pin for men...
