SIGNED SHERMAN SIAM RED BLACK JAPANNED BACK BROOCH

SIGNED SHERMAN SIAM RED BLACK JAPANNED BACK BROOCH
This Siam Red masterpiece was obtained late 2020 early Jan 2021.

The brooch in # 1 is pictured the way it was intended to be worn as judged by the pin location. This medium size brooch of a shooting star has a wow factor that is undeniable when it reaches your hands. This one packs a thrill with its domed Sherman flower cluster which was one of his signature ways to make a piece stand out, a favoured accent. It looks like a shooting star with dew drops that are interspersed throughout this brooch extraordinaire ! It is a rare design which in Siam Red the perfect ab'ing can give a feeling of swiftness and motion. It is not a "hard" AB'ing as the stones that are ab'd can get from a glare to a nice Siam stone in mili-seconds as the light interacts. The geometric swirl of the star or feather design is present in a lot of Sherman, this one letting the imagination soar ! The beautiful navettes get smaller as the swirl progresses. That wonderful cap of stones amazes as for something so small (about 1/4 inch) it contains the standard 19 chaton stones just for that roundel. These tiny chatons are interspersed around the perimeter also and appear as dewdrops giving that fresh look to this marvel !~ ..........H
