ABOUT THIS BROOCH

The storied NY jeweler Seaman Schepps is responsible for some of the most distinctive, creative, bold, and colorful jewels ever produced in America. And this sizable and striking work of wearable art serves as an ideal case in point. Measuring a quite conspicuous 2 1/4 inches across, the highly stylized pansy blossom shimmers and glows with golden and purple petals, courtesy of hand carved citrines and amethysts overlaid atop a gleaming mother-of-pearl base, producing a gorgeous glow. A central faceted round amethyst and golden stamens add the finishing touches to this unique, jubilant Mid-Century jewel. Hand fabricated in 18K yellow gold, signed and numbered.

About Mid-Century Jewelry

Mid-Century jewelers gave the Victorians a run for their money when it came to variety—with the added bonus of big, bold gems in every shape, size, and color. Themes of previous eras were made fabulous enough to match the optimism of the post-war world. Transitional pieces bridged the gap between the first and second half of the 20th century.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
