Antique Enamel and Pearl Woman Brooch by Krementz of 14k Gold

Romantic and exquisitely detailed, this antique brooch (circa 1910) showcases a serene woman’s profile nestled within a pearl-studded crescent moon, delicately adorned with enameled violet blossoms—a graceful tribute to femininity, sentiment, and the natural world. Crafted in solid 14k gold, the brooch bears the hallmark of Krementz & Co., one of Newark, New Jersey’s most respected jewelry houses known for their fine Art Nouveau and Edwardian designs. Measuring approximately 0.7 inches tall by 0.8 inches wide, the brooch is both delicate in scale and rich in artistry. The crescent form, a favorite motif of the era, symbolizes protection, intuition, and romantic devotion, while the violets evoke themes of modesty and remembrance. In very good antique condition, the enamel retains its original beauty, with only minimal loss visible upon close inspection. The pearls are lustrous and well-matched, and the gold has been confirmed via XRF and jeweler’s acid testing to ensure 14k purity.
