Vintage 18ct Gold Owl Brooch With Red Glass And Ruby
An adorably quirky and colourful owl brooch for your vintage menagerie! Eternalised resting on a branch, this charming specimen is cleverly crafted in shiny 18ct yellow gold with articulated details. Textured feathers accent the wings while the head is finished in brushed-over look with two fuchsia-colour ruby eyes serving as the window to its wise soul. The belly is made of a round-faceted marquise-cut glass stone in a striking cherry-red hue, adding a generous touch of colour and inviting attention. This fun and vivid piece was sourced from an auction in the US and dates from the 1980s-1990s. During this period, designers favoured all types of precious metals, with alternative materials like glass and plastic dominating the styles. Brooches made a big comeback and usually featured nature-inspired themes pinned on unusual places like the belt or the shoulder. This versatile owl brooch comes in great size and can be easily paired with other pins and clips from your collection. Wear it close to your heart when you need a little wisdom for your day.
