Although the 1st Dibs listing for this piece says it was made in 2015, it has a fun 60s look to it. For one thing, brooches aren’t that common anymore and for another, when you see them they typically aren’t figurals like this one. Made by John Landrum Bryant, the listing notes, “18k. White and Yellow Gold. 203 Matching Rubies (2.80ct.). Diamonds, Rubies. This Unique Piece invokes thoughts of our priceless heritage of Coral Formations and all the Sea Life they support. Created, Designed and Fabricated under the Direct Supervision of Prince John Landrum Bryant of Galleum, Manhattan. Dimensions: 7.2 x 3.0 cm.”
It’s currently on sale for 50% off at USD$6,750.
