AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Iconic piece from 1974, from the Fantessa collection and documented in Monet, The Master Jewelers by Alice Vega — a line that collectors actively seek, as it embodies Monet's golden age of design.
From the moment you see it, you understand why: this brooch does not go unnoticed. Its large size and radiant design shine thanks to 24-karat gold plating, which captures light with intensity. The polished surfaces reflect the luster, brushed areas soften it, and the flared rays create a bright sunburst effect.
It's a piece designed to draw the eye: clean volumetry, perfect balance, and that warm gold you crave in the middle of winter — a sparkle that wakes a dark coat, a turtleneck, a scarf.
And rare bonus: it can also be worn as a pendant. Two pieces of jewelry in one.
Dimensions: approximately 7 × 7.5 cm
Condition: very good
Seller's Story
Chimay Collection House is a cultural and collecting project from Belgium, where art, history, and investment potential come together.
It was founded in Chimay (ʃi-mɛ), a historic principality in Wallonia, Belgium, within an 18th-century home that became a symbol of continuity. Just as stone preserves the passage of time, collections live on, passing from one generation to another.
The project is led by a Belgian-trained antique dealer with over 15 years of experience. At its core lies art history and a philosophy that views collecting both as cultural heritage and as a long-term value.
We have chosen two fields where passion and investment converge:
— Costume Jewelry of the 20th century — collectible pieces, many documented in major reference books and catalogues.
— Collectible Barbie Dolls — iconic editions that reflect fashion, design, and the culture of their time.
Chimay Collection House is not static — it grows and evolves. Its mission is to act as a guide for collectors worldwide, helping them to discover beauty, understand value, and shape the future through collections.
