Carved Lapis Brooch c1930

Lapis Lazuli has been prized for millenia for its vivid, royal blue color. Its rich hue is associated with divinity and is undeniably regal with its long history of adorning the world's most powerful and respected individuals. This stone's majestic blue is vibrant in its minimal yellow gold frame in this 1930s brooch. It is artfully carved with an asymmetrical, incomplete picture of a flower among foliage, as if it is just a small piece of a more elaborate floral scene. In a way, its carving reflects the reality of the gem: it is a speck of something more grand and ancient than we can even imagine!
