Gold bar brooch with carnelian cabochon, pearls, and jade leaves
History
This elegant bar brooch dates from the Art Deco period (approximately 1920-1940), featuring a design that exemplifies the era's appreciation for color, symmetry, and natural motifs. The piece combines a polished carnelian cabochon center with cultured pearls and jade or jade-colored enamel leaves set in a gold frame with intricate filigree work. Bar brooches like this were popular accessories during the early 20th century, worn to secure scarves, adorn lapels, or embellish collars. This type of jewelry appeals to collectors of Art Deco pieces and vintage fine jewelry enthusiasts for its elegant design, quality craftsmanship, and the warm color combination of the carnelian with gold. The piece would be particularly valued by collectors focusing on early 20th century jewelry that features semi-precious stones in artistic settings.
