Vintage Carved Blue Rose Brooch Sterling Marcasite
One of the most beautiful rose brooches I have ever seen, this lovely brooch features a carved dimensional and detailed rose tinted a lovely light blue. The rose is actually carved celluloid. While most celluloid was molded, occasionally it was carved, I have another piece that is also carved and painted celluloid. It is the exception, not the rule. The fine lines on the back of the rose ARE NOT Schreger lines, they are made to mimic ivory by drawing a current through the hot material, a technique also seen used in Italian lucite. The stem and leaves are sterling silver and enhanced with small marcasites. This lovely piece is a very nice size measuring 3 3/8 by 1 3/8". It is signed STERLING on the back of the brooch.
