Brassler Carnelian Stickpin
Carnelian Curves |
| A carnelian glows like a fiery ember cradled in
an undulating frame of golden curves. The crisp geometry of the
carnelian and the flowing curves of the setting create a
wonderful contrast. Created by Hans Brassler in 14kt gold,
circa 1910.
Hans Brassler was a gifted jewelry maker who in the early 1900s created a collection of stickpins, brooches and other jewels that are miniature works of art. He drew inspiration from nature, fantasy and past historical periods to create unique, imaginative jewels with an elegant sense of style. This stickpin is finely crafted with a sturdy gold frame to protect the carnelian (see photo below). The maker's mark of The Brassler Company, a double oval surrounding "14B" is stamped on the lower right of the reverse. Cost: Although this elegant stickpin has sold, you will find many more fine stickpins in the Antique Stickpin Gallery. |
