Vintage Coral 18K Gold Chinese Monk Shou Lao Large Brooch Pin

About the Item

This unique hand made Vintage 1950s brooch captures the essence of Chinese mythology with a meticulously carved figure of Shou Lao, the god of longevity, crafted in radiant 14-karat yellow gold. The centerpiece is a striking red carved monk face, which draws the eye with its detailed artistry and vibrant hue. The coral head monk is depicted standing, clutching a staff, symbolizing support and strength. His gown, a masterpiece in itself, features inscriptions of Chinese characters and intricate engravings that signify wisdom and longevity. The natural coral brooch is framed with natural round diamonds totaling approximately 0.70 carats, set in lustrous 14-karat white gold, giving the piece a two-tone appeal. These diamonds are graded SI for clarity and H-I in color. It's a wearable piece of art that pays homage to ancient traditions and beliefs. It's a collector's dream and a conversation starter, perfect for those who appreciate the blend of cultural heritage with luxury. Accompanied with official gemologist appraisal document.
