A circular filigree brooch of considerable charm, this piece is set with a domed central cabochon in deep amethyst, encircled by eight teardrop cabochons in the same rich purple. The darkened stainless filigree surround is intricate and lace-like, its scrolled lacework catching shadow and light in equal measure. A brooch that ooses the quiet confidence of mid-century craftsmanship at its most decorative.
Pin this at the neckline of a silk blouse, bring attention to the shoulder of a hostess dress neckline or shoulder or anchor it to a rich cream wool coat for maximum colour drama. It sings equally against mustard, burnt sienna, or a bold floral. Try clustering it with a second smaller brooch on a lapel for a curated, editorial arrangement that feels thoroughly modern.
