Description from the seller
Exquisite Mid-Century 18kt Rose Gold Brooch - Italian Artisan Haute Joaillerie Heritage - 4.4g certified
"A timeless piece of Italian goldsmithing history."
The Design:
This elegant brooch is a masterclass in Mid-Century Italian design. Handcrafted in solid 18k Rose Gold, it features a sophisticated botanical motif with a "branch of leaves" design. The warm, rose-hued gold is typical of the 1950s aesthetic, offering a glow that complements any attire.
Masterful Goldsmithing (Technical-Chic):
Hand-Chiseled Texture: The 'bulino' engraving on the rose gold leaves creates a silk-like effect, a hallmark of mid-century Italian workshops. This manual process ensures that each leaf reflects light differently, providing a vibrant, organic feel.
Three-Dimensional Construction: This is not a flat casting; the brooch is built on multiple levels (hand-pierced), providing depth and a realistic 'lifelike' movement when worn.
Authentic Patina: The rose gold has been professionally cleaned but retains its authentic vintage luster, ensuring its historical integrity and charm.
The Gemstone:
The centerpiece is a brilliant-cut synthetic gemstone (synthetic stone). Coeval with the piece, this stone was specifically chosen by the jeweler for its exceptional clarity and intense, deep red saturation, which was a standard of excellence in artisan gold jewelry of that era.
Technical Specifications:
Material: Solid 18k Rose Gold (Hallmarked "750").
Weight: 4.4 grams.
Dimensions: Approx. 4.5 cm in length.
Closure: Features a secure pin with a functional safety clasp.
Professional Certification:
The lot includes an official Appraisal Report drafted by a Court-Certified Expert (C.T.U. - Albo Consulenti Tecnici). This certification confirms the authenticity of the materials (18k Gold), the historical period, and the high-quality craftsmanship of the piece.
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition. A perfect investment for collectors of authentic Italian gold or a refined gift for vintage lovers.
