Antique Enamel Violet Pendant or Brooch of 14k Gold

A jewel of sentiment and artistry, this antique brooch/pendant takes the form of a finely enameled violet, long associated with love, remembrance, and loyalty. At its heart lies a luminous pearl accent, a classic touch of refinement. Crafted by the esteemed American firm Bippart & Co., the piece bears the maker’s mark on the reverse, affirming its distinguished provenance. Measuring approximately 1.1 inches from top to bottom by 0.9 inches wide, the jewel is in very good condition, with its enamel retaining rich purple color. The safety catch and the ring at the top of the collapsible bail are later replacements, consistent with antique adaptations for continued wear. The gold content has been professionally verified through X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and jeweler’s acid testing, confirming its authenticity and quality. Materials: 14k gold, gold, enamel, pearl.
