#23136 - Natural Branch Coral Brooch 18k c1920s Italy

Circa 1920s, 18k, Italy. This elegant brooch showcases a polished natural coral branch for a look that only nature can offer. Pure in design and vibrant in color in a way only organic material can be, it will vividly take any moment of fashion from the sidewalk to the catwalk. Well-made in Italy during the Art Deco period, it is in excellent condition. "Today, when coral reefs are protected from harvest for their invaluable ecological role in our shared earth, the trade of old coral represents the best of all worlds. The beauty of this natural stone is recognized, and pieces that had been harvested in the past are lovingly handed down (upcycled!). We are proud to be part of a circular economy that respects our planet and the people on it. It is a wonderfully green way to wear fashionable organics and to feel good doing it!"
