AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A magnificent statement of early 20th-century European silver artistry, this substantial navette plaque brooch is forged in solid 925 sterling silver with deep antique oxidation. The ornate, openwork geometric gallery features reeded ribbons, milgrain borders, and stylized floral rosettes pavé-set with glittering pyrite marcasites. Held securely by corner prongs at the heart is a large oval cabochon of natural Baltic cognac amber (or amber crystal matrix) displaying warm honey-caramel internal flakes and radiant light play. The reverse is fitted with a sturdy pin stem and rollover safety catch, stamped clearly on the rim with an authentic 925 silver purity hallmark alongside a silversmith maker's cartouche.
