Antique Arts & Crafts Sterling Silver Green Turquoise Shadowbox Brooch Tested For Sale

authentic antique Arts & Crafts era statement brooch crafted in heavy, hand-wrought solid silver featuring a spectacular natural turquoise centerpiece.The geometric, clean-lined shadowbox frame combined with a soft, hand-hammered look is classic for bench-made artisan silver of this period. Jewelers of this movement deliberately broke away from smooth, machine-stamped Victorian designs, preferring instead to highlight raw metalwork textures and natural, non-faceted opaque gemstones like turquoise.Metal Purity & Weight Note: While this historic piece is completely unmarked on the reverse (common for bench-made artisan jewelry of the early 1900s), it has been professionally acid tested and verified positive for high-purity solid silver / sterling silver. It has a substantial, premium feel on the scale, weighing in at exactly 14 grams.This gorgeous collector\'s piece features a large oval green-blue turquoise cabochon showing a beautiful, subtle natural matrix pattern. The gemstone is securely cradled in a raised bezel setting inside a layered, stepped-tier shadowbox style frame. The silver has developed a magnificent, deep tarnish over the decades that beautifully accentuates its clean geometric architectural lines.A truly handsome, historic find for collectors of early silver work, vintage Southwestern jewelry, or unique heirloom accessories!Shipping Terms:
