Vintage Sterling Silver & Nephrite Modernist 3D Geometric Abstract Brooch Signed

Markings: 925 Maker's Mark

Weight: 17g

A fantastic vintage sterling silver and nephrite modernist brooch with a bold, sculptural presence and a distinctly architectural point of view.

The design is built from layered, open-frame sterling silver forms that overlap and intersect in three dimensions, creating a wonderful sense of movement, depth, and negative space. At the center sits a smooth, polished green nephrite cabochon, its organic color providing a beautiful contrast to the crisp geometry of the silver setting.

The overall composition feels wonderfully mid-century—graphic, confident, and highly wearable—while the dimensional construction gives the brooch the presence of a small piece of sculpture.

At 17 grams, the piece has a satisfying substantial feel without being overly heavy. Its generous profile and strong silhouette make it especially effective on a blazer, coat, scarf, dress, or leather jacket.

The brooch is marked 925 along with an unidentified maker’s mark, adding another intriguing element for collectors of signed modernist silver.

A distinctive piece for anyone drawn to mid-century modern jewelry, Scandinavian-influenced design, architectural forms, or collectible sterling silver wearable art.
