Vintage Sterling Silver Handcrafted Organic Freeform Key Brooch with Baroque Cultured Pearl and Green Stone Accents

Vintage Sterling Silver Handcrafted Organic Freeform Key Brooch with Baroque Cultured Pearl and Green Stone Accents featuring an organic abstract design loosely resembling a key.  This beautiful brooch measures 6.4cm long with a small, likely freshwater, baroque cultured pearl (9mm long and 7mm wide) with a smooth slightly elongated asymmetrical ovoid shape.  It also has two dark green slightly irregular polished beads with a couple of small dark spots or patches, possibly nephrite or Serpentine (6-7mm).  The pearl displays excellent iridescent lustre and it has a silvery-grey body colour with beautiful cool overtones of soft blue green and subtly peacock flashes.

The brooch is stamped 'STERL' short for Sterling Silver as well as a single letter 'K' on the reverse possibly with an arrow head on the upright of the 'K'.  It is secured with a rollover clasp and it weighs 8.4g.

Nephrite is a tough green form of jade, symbolises purity, serenity, harmony, protection, and good fortune.  It is valued for bringing emotional calm, reducing stress, fostering love and balance (especially via the Heart Chakra), supporting kidney health and vitality, and attracting prosperity.

Pearl is the birthstone for June and the anniversary gift for the 30th wedding anniversary. Pearls also represent wisdom gained through experience. The gems of the sea are believed to offer protection to the wearer, as well as attract good luck and wealth. Moreover, pearls speak of the wearer’s purity and integrity.
