Magnificent Huge Art Deco Sterling Silver Silver Pink Glass Peacock Brooch
This art deco peacock brooch is amazing! Crafted in unmarked sterling silver, the peacock features a body composed of pave'd clear rhinestones. His magnificent tail sweeps out behind him, and is embellished with large deep pink faceted glass stones capped with tiny rhinestones. As you can see, his longest feather has a slight bend downwards. The feathers are layered for a lovely dimensional look. The body of the bird has a few very dark rhinestones, I have not replaced these but left the brooch as i found it. I think some of the rhinestones are also new replacements. This is mentioned for accuracy, for this brooch is simply gorgeous! This design came in two versions, this is the larger. The brooch is not marked for metal content but tested as sterling silver. The brooch measures a substantial 4 3/4 by 1 1/2". The original mold for this brooch is in The Jewelry Museum in Providence RI.
