A petite sterling silver brooch set with an oval pale pink quartz cabochon in an openwork frame with darkened silver detail and small accent studs and c-clasp. The soft pink center gives the piece a romantic look, while the elongated shape and geometric frame bring in Art Deco structure.
Style & Era Notes:
This brooch has distinct Art Deco styling, especially in the elongated oval shape, symmetrical frame, and contrast between the pale pink stone and darker silver setting. The compact size makes it easy to wear as a small collar pin, bag pin, scarf pin, lapel accent, or delicate vintage brooch.
Research / Identification Notes:
The brooch is marked STER and has an old-style C clasp, both details that support an older vintage to antique date. Its elongated oval form, darkened sterling setting, openwork frame, and pale pink cabochon are consistent with early 20th-century Art Deco jewelry design. Because no maker’s mark or date mark is present, we are describing the piece as Art Deco era based on construction, clasp style, silver mark, and design characteristics.
