Custom Made 14KT Yellow Gold Cabochon Cut Turquoise and Seed Pearl Brooch

This vintage brooch is custom-crafted in beautiful yellow gold. Located in the middle, within a scalloped setting, is an oval cabochon cut turquoise exhibiting a dark brownish matrix. Turquoise deposits usually form in iron-rich limonite or sandstone. Limonite creates dark brown markings in turquoise, while sandstone creates tan markings.

These markings are remnants of the host rock within the turquoise and can resemble splotches or veins called matrix. The turquoise is surrounded by an intricate rope and circular wire design with a fifty-three-seed pearl framework. Recessed in a 3-dimensional fashion is an open scroll designed border. The pin runs horizontally across the back.
