Amethyst and Pearl BroochAmethyst and Pearls! |
A striking Art Nouveau brooch with pastel enamel leaves and pearl clusters surrounding a regal amethyst. A small diamond sparkles at the top of the brooch like a distant star. Created by Krementz & Company in 14kt gold, circa 1900.
This brooch is beautifully crafted. It is secured with a sturdy pin and early safety clasp. Note the gold framework that supports the enamel leaves, pearls and amethyst. A chatelaine hook beneath the pin stem allows a small watch or other pendant to hang below the brooch.
One side of the clasp displays the maker's mark of Krementz & Company - a stylized collar button. The other side is stamped "14K" for the purity of the gold. Krementz & Company was a maker of fine brooches, cufflinks and other jewels from the late 1860s through the 20th century. Name: Amethyst and Pearls |
