Large Brooch Emerald Diamond Tsavorite Sapphire Gold Baroque style
Located in Berlin, DE
Antique-inspired Emerald, Diamond Gold Brooch with Yellow Sapphire
Shaped like a gorgeous feather with a octagon-cut emerald as focus-point, this Emerald, Diamond Gold Brooch with Yellow Sapphire is so exquisite that it can be compared with one of the sculptural masterpieces of the Roman baroque style, the ‘Ecstasy of Saint Teresa.’
The sculpture was inspired by a vision of Saint Teresa, which she described in a very visual, even sexual way. An angel plunged a golden spear into her heart, leaving her breathless and consumed with a spiritual pain so intense that she did not want it to end.
This brooch is the contemporary transformation of the sculpture found in the Cornaro Chapel, in Santa Maria della Vittoria, in Rome. The artist was Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
Why do we say this?
Bernini began by designing the chapel as the 'theatre' for his sculpture. Similarly, the Vintage-inspired Emerald, Diamond Gold Brooch also needs a setting, a background. That, of course, is you!
The ‘Ecstasy’ is floodlit by beams of natural light from a hidden window. The natural light mingles with the shine from a cluster of vertical bronze shafts behind the sculpture, shaped to bear a resemblance to the rays of the sun.
Imagine this precious gold brooch in your outstretched hand. Rays of rainbow aurora will bounce and shimmer, just like it does on the ‘Ecstasy of Saint Teresa.’
Features of the Vintage-inspired Emerald, Diamond Gold Brooch with Yellow Sapphire:
It is all precious stones in this royal brooch...

Antique Yellow-Orange Amber Chinese Court Necklace, Mala, 19th Century
Located in New York, NY
From the private collection of a noted New York City jewelry designer whose work was featured at Bergdorf Goodman, a fine intense yellow-orange translucent natural amber 108 bead court necklace, mala. The beads are gem quality, measuring 12mm-13mm with fine crazing indicating good age, excellent electrical charge attraction, some natural inclusions.
These types of necklaces, sometimes referred to as Mandarin chain or official court beads, were worn as status symbols in China by the members of the Chinese court during the Qing Dynasty, 1644-1912. Embellishments such as counter beads, spacers, plaques and pendants were often a part of these necklaces. Officials sometimes used them as abacuses for business calculations and as worry beads for relaxation, as an amulet and a mark of power and social prestige.
Amber is associated with the powers of attraction and benefits of good communication. Natural golden yellow amber is warm to the touch, like holding a piece of sunlight in the palm of your hand. It also produces an electrical charge when rubbed, thus having the power of attraction, similar to the way being friendly has the effect of drawing people to you. In Buddhist practice, amber serves as a reminder to avoid harsh speech and practice kindly communication.
