Beautiful designer brooch pendant by designer Erte. This fine designer piece features mother of pearl mounted in 14k gold and silver and adorned with diamonds. This fabulous pendant weighs 38.0 grams and measures 1.75" in diameter. This brooch can be worn as a pendant on a chain of 14k yellow gold and sterling silver of complimentary design. Chain weighs 36.2 grams and is 19? in length. Limited edition brooch 105/500.


According to Erté ? Art to Wear ?The Complete Jewelry: "The 'Aphrodite' necklace is based on an early painting by Erte called 'The Wave', which was later recreated as a serigraph. The nautical theme is carried through pictorially in the brooch/pendant and in a more abstract way in the necklace. At the same time, the artist alludes in the title to the mythic emergence of the Greek goddess of love from the sea, a story most familiar with reference to her Roman form, Venus." This stunning brooch ? a perfect 'marriage' of jewelry and art ? will be a welcome addition to any collection!
