14K Yellow Gold Sculptural Pendant/Brooch with Baroque Pearls, Organic Design
An exquisite vintage 14K yellow gold pendant/brooch showcasing a dynamic, organic sculptural form set with lustrous baroque pearls. The design evokes natural branching elements with molten-textured gold, each pearl uniquely positioned to highlight its irregular, natural beauty. This dual-function piece is fitted with both a pin clasp and a 0.10″ bale opening, allowing it to be worn elegantly as either a brooch or a pendant.
The reverse is stamped “14K” alongside an indiscernible maker’s mark, pointing to artisan or studio craftsmanship rather than mass production. Measuring 2.16″ x 1.64″ x 0.48″ and weighing 13.86 grams, this substantial piece is a wearable work of art. Its mid-century modern aesthetic and timeless natural motif make it perfect for collectors of fine vintage jewelry.
Condition
In good condition with secure pearl settings. The clasp is fully functional and closes securely.

With its organic texture and striking pearl arrangement, this brooch captures the essence of mid-century modernist jewelry—an era celebrated for its freeform, sculptural approach to design. Comparable handcrafted gold-and-pearl pieces by artisan jewelers from the 1960s and 70s are highly sought after on platforms such as 1stDibs and auction houses, often recognized for their wearable artistry and unique character. This brooch exemplifies that spirit and stands as a versatile statement piece for both formal and contemporary wear.
