Susan Helmich Pink Tourmaline and Multi-Color Sapphire Brooch in 18 Karat Gold

About the Item

This Susan Helmich brooch is a magnificent creation that seamlessly combines bold design and vibrant gemstones. Set in lustrous 18-karat yellow gold, the brooch features a large half-moon-shaped pink tourmaline as the main focal point, radiating elegance and sparkle. Scattered across the brooch are sapphires in an array of colors, including shades of orange, pink, purple, and red, creating a harmonious and visually captivating composition. What sets this brooch apart is the exquisite interplay of textures on the gold surface. One part of the brooch boasts a smooth finish, emphasizing the sleek elegance of the design, while the other part features a distinctive crumpled paper texture with a matte finish. This unique textural contrast adds depth and dimension to the piece, transforming it into a wearable work of art. Susan Helmich's meticulous craftsmanship, coupled with the use of vibrant gemstones and innovative texturing, results in a brooch that is both a bold fashion statement and a celebration of the beauty found in the details. This piece is in excellent estate condition and has been professionally cleaned and polished. It comes with an appraisal card, verifying its authenticity and current appraisal value.
