![[Jewelry] [Brooch] Ca. 1920s Gold Brooch with Garnets and Opal](http://www.schubertiademusic.com/cdn/shop/files/H1285-L429111132_original_3f26cc0d-9312-4836-b2b5-fa2ff60a817e.jpg?v=1773510891)
Delicate in every sense. This finely designed little brooch from around the 1920s, likely German, is made of solid gold stamped 333 (8k) and set with two garnets and one opal, worked into an open, sweeping frame.
Low-karat gold like this was a German specialty in the years between the wars, allowing intricate, wearable jewelry at a time when few could afford anything heavier. At just over an inch long it is a perfect lapel or scarf pin.
