Blackamoor jewelry has long been associated with Venetian goldsmithing, where finely carved figures were incorporated into richly detailed ornamental jewelry. These pieces became a distinctive element of Italian figural design and remain highly collectible today.
This striking vintage brooch showcases that tradition with an intricately sculpted resin head framed by ornate 18k yellow gold scrollwork. The goldwork features hand-textured detailing and openwork elements that give the piece wonderful dimension and depth.
Round brilliant cut diamonds accent the turban and collar, while vibrant emeralds are set throughout the gold framework for additional color and contrast. Antique-style rose cut diamonds along the collar provide subtle sparkle and texture.
Total diamond weight is approximately 0.19 carats with VS to SI clarity and G to H color. Emerald accents measure approximately 2 to 4 millimeters.
The brooch weighs a substantial 20.5 grams of acid-tested 18k gold and features a secure double pin back. It wears beautifully as a dramatic statement brooch and can also be converted into a pendant upon request.
Condition is very good vintage with minor surface wear to the resin face consistent with age.
