A gorgeous antique paste brooch from the Art Deco era, c1920! The lovely Australian piece is made of 9ct gold, a bloomed yellow finish over rose gold. The piece features a bright pale blue paste stone at the centre, the paste stone imitating aquamarine. The square step cut stone is lovely and a bit ahead of its time! The paste stone rests in a charming coronet claw setting - two claws are missing, albeit does not compromise with the security of the stone, and difficult to detect in the overall design. The setting suspends from a fine wire stem and a 'flowing ribbon' design beautifully decorates the bottom of the circle brooch. A metal pin and gold 'C' loop attaches to the back. Stamped '9CT' and '9c' to the reverse of the design.

A similar design of this brooch can be seen in the book 'Australian Jewellery 19th and 20th Century' by Schofield and Fahy (pg138). A design possibly by JM Wendt, as suggested in the book.

A simple, yet elegant antique circle brooch! The piece would make a classy touch to any collar or scarf, or is the perfect candidate for a conversion pendant!

The overall condition of the piece is good. Two claws are missing to the multi-claw coronet setting albeit does not compromise with the security of the stone, and difficult to detect in the overall design. The stone has small signs of wear around the facet edges, though only noticed under magnification. The piece retains a nice level of the bloomed yellow finish and the clasp works well. A charming antique piece which can be enjoyed for another century, or more!
