Presented is a charming 14 karat yellow gold and enamel pin or brooch. This
piece dates to circa 1895-1910 and was made by the Hammerman Bros. The pin is
made in the form of a flower with beautifully realistic petals in white and
green enamel with a real seed pearl set in the center, very much in the Art
Nouveau style of the time to which it dates. The pin has a rollover style safety
clasp, which is quite secure.
the tips of the leaves at the 3 o clock, 9 o clock, and 12 o clock position,
which was done very well and is hard to notice without close, careful
inspection. There is a little flake to the enamel on two of the leaves where
they join the center which is likewise very hard to notice, nothing a person
would see while you're wearing the pin. The clasp is a replacement from around
the 1940s-1950s, well done and more secure than the original C clasp would have
been.
The pin is stamped 14k as well as a maker's mark of HB conjoined, for
Hammerman Bros, a renowned New York jewelry maker.
The pin measures about 1 1/8 of an inch by 1 inch.
The pin weighs 4.6 grams.
