Sea-life has been a source of wonder and inspiration for artisans and jewelers since time immemorial: its otherworldly forms are wild, whimsical, and expand our notions of what is possible. Made in the 1950s, this captivating starfish brooch is brought to life with royal blue guilloché enamel, hand-applied atop beautifully textured gold. The gold's naturalistic carved lines shine through the translucent blue enamel, creating a life-like texture that accentuates the starfish's aquatic curves. These carefully sculpted arms perfectly capture the fluid movement of this ancient ocean dweller. A glittering full-cut diamond sparkles at its center as five long petals of white gold are inlaid with diamonds and delicately float and wrap between each of the enameled arms. The sparkling diamonds add a touch of glamour to the sea star's playful, joyful expression, making it a true oceanic treasure. This delightful starfish brooch is sure to be a beloved part of any jewelry collection, keeping the cherished charm of the sea close to the heart!
