AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant vintage Japanese silver pin with seven pearls, sourced from Houseki Salon Kitaoka jewelry store (宝石サロン キタオカ) and kept in its original era case with a gold-marked badge.
The pin features a refined three-dimensional floral design: slender curved silver elements weave together to form a light and harmonious composition, on which seven graduated pearls are distributed, with diameters ranging approximately from 4 to 6 mm.
The irregular arrangement of the pearls and the sinuous lines of the metal create movement and enhance the delicate nacreous reflections, giving the piece an elegant, typically vintage aesthetic.
On the reverse is the marking “SILVER.”
Particularly notable is the accompanying case. Inside, in gold, is the Japanese inscription 宝石サロン キタオカ – Houseki Salon Kitaoka, translatable as “Kitaoka Jewelry Salon,” and the characteristic Kitaoka mark キタオカ (Kitaoka) set inside a frame and flanked by a crown symbol.
