#RSP-MM169 Huge Art Moderne Jeweled Sterling Brooch
Ok, my partner saw this and just cracked up – she calls it the ski wreck pin and try as I might, I can’t get that out of my
head, it DOES look like a disaster happened on the slopes! Or perhaps an artist rendition of a game of pickup sticks.
Anyway, I am drawn to Art Moderne and Eames era silver pieces and I still love it no matter what anyone else thinks : ) It
measures a whopping 3” x 3” and is set to the center (amongst all the tangled skis) with an 8mm x10mm faceted stone with an
unusual light greenish brown color – we think a tourmaline, but have not had it tested. A natural gem, whatever it is.
Unsigned, unmarked, but tested and guaranteed sterling. Exact circa unknown, best guess is 1950’s. Fitted with a good clasp and pin and in excellent condition, with no wear to note.
