The Legacy Collection - Rare vintage jewels, handpicked to be treasured for generations.
 
A rare jewel of the Jazz Age — poetic, architectural, and unmistakably 1920s.
This exquisite 1920s brooch is a masterclass in early 20th-century design, where elegance met precision and ornamentation was never accidental. Crafted in sterling silver (clearly hallmarked), the brooch is structured around a striking oval emerald glass, framed by a halo of sparkling paste stones that catch the light with restrained brilliance.
 
The design language is unmistakably late Edwardian–early Art Deco transition:
Softly symmetrical yet architecturally balanced
Delicate openwork scrolls radiating outward
A refined imitation pearl drop suspended below, adding gentle movement and femininity
The contrast between the cool silver, luminous green centre, crisp paste, and the creamy pearl creates a composition that feels both regal and wearable — a jewel designed to be admired up close.

Styling notes
This brooch is effortlessly versatile for the discerning collector:
Pin it at the collarbone on a silk blouse or satin dress for a classic, old-world look
Wear it on the lapel of a tailored blazer for a quietly powerful statement
Style it on a cashmere wrap, scarf, or even the bodice of an evening gown
For collectors who enjoy modern contrasts, it pairs beautifully with minimal monochrome outfits, allowing the jewel to take centre stage
 
Care tip
Store separately in a soft pouch to protect the paste stones. Avoid moisture, perfumes, and direct impact. Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear to maintain its lustre.
 
The collector who would wear this
This brooch belongs to a collector who values history over trend — someone drawn to nuance, craftsmanship, and pieces that whisper rather than shout. She understands that true luxury lies in rarity and restraint. A woman who appreciates Art Deco poetry, heirloom jewellery, and the quiet confidence of wearing something few others will ever own.
A piece not merely worn, but curated.
