This exceptional vintage owl brooch is finely crafted in solid 18K yellow gold and richly adorned with luminous green and blue enamel. The owl’s expressive eyes feature natural ruby cabochon centers encircled by single-cut diamonds, arranged in elegant cluster settings that bring warmth, depth, and character to the design.
The body showcases meticulously detailed feather-pattern enamel framed by raised gold outlines, a hallmark of high-quality mid-century enamel work. Textured gold wings, talons, and branch complete the sculptural form, demonstrating the level of craftsmanship associated with fine jewelry of the mid 20th century.
Unsigned examples of this caliber were commonly produced by Italian workshops during the mid-20th century, where figural animal brooches were celebrated as wearable art. This piece embodies that tradition, offering both visual impact and enduring collectability.
A striking heirloom-quality jewel, ideal for collectors of animal jewelry, enamel work, or fine mid-century design.
