Description from the seller

Stuart Nye – Sterling silver cornflower blossom brooch – Mid-century studio design – Handmade – USA - 1940s

A refined and characterful sterling silver brooch by the American silversmith Stuart Nye, executed in the form of a cornflower blossom that directly reflects the influence of the Arts & Crafts movement and Scandinavian modernism.

This brooch is fully handmade and features an elegant, natural design: four smoothly formed petals with subtle, hand-applied engraved lines around a core of silver beads. The light oxidation enhances the relief and gives the piece depth and a warm, timeless appearance.

Stuart Nye (1913–2001), based in Asheville, North Carolina, USA, was known for his artisanal approach to jewelry and his preference for nature-inspired forms. His work is internationally valued and sits at the crossroads of American studio design and European modernism.

A beautiful collection piece and a wearable design that easily fits both modern and classical styles. The pin clasp is in good working order.

Dimensions: L 6.0 cm x W 3.5 cm

Weight: 5.8 grams

This brooch is pre-owned and marked with the NYE signature and is securely packaged for smart shipping, sent by registered mail and insured with tracking.

Seller's Story

I have a passion for vintage design, and my objects mainly come from Scandinavia. I seek out unique gems that are then offered to new owners through this platform. I ensure that the objects are very well packaged so they can arrive safely. I hope that, through my circular mission of sustainability, these beautiful objects can be given a second life, serving as a good example for many others.
