An fairly large and elegant antique Scottish jasper brooch dating to the transitional period between Edwardian and Art Deco era, so around 1915. The large rectangular flat cut stone is mounted in a sterling silver setting with double claws, etched lines decorate the sides in a simple geometric design typical of the early Deco era.
The jasper is a particularly nice stone, a dramatic grey/blue liberally spattered with red flecks and white dots, it reminds us of stormy skies and the heather covered highlands of Scotland.
Hand wrought and lovely quality with a real Arts and Crafts feel to it, the brooch will coordinate beautifully with popular plaid and tartan colors, perfect for autumn!
The brooch is in excellent condition with no flaws in the stone and the sturdy pin back in perfect working order. It is not marked and acid tests at 925 sterling silver purity including the pin back.
DIMENSIONS
1-3/4" (43mm) wide, 1-1/3" (33mm) high, depth 6mm, weight 16 grams
