Grape Cluster Brooch in 14kt Gold with Natural Amethyst Gemstones

The 14kt. gold One Leaf and Vine Brooch With Amethyst Gemstones has a large leaf and a gold runner wire on an 1 1/8" long vine. The grape cluster has 29 4mm. round natural dark Amethyst gemstones hand mounted to a 14kt. gold grape stem. That is over 3 1/2 carats total weight of Amethyst gemstones! The Cabernet Leaf has a lot of engraved detail as well as engraved detail on the grape stem. The pin on the back is a hinged pin stem with a joint and catch. Overall actual size of this piece is 1 1/2" tall by 1 1/8" wide.I was inspired in the creation of this jewelry by looking at how a actual cluster of grapes are attached to the grape stems. When I make the setting that holds the gemstones in place I designed it like the actual grape stem. This way I can hand arrange the stones or pearls after they are mounted onto the stems so that they look like actual grape clusters. The grape jewelry collection is also sold at several fine jewelry stores and galleries in the Napa Valley area along with
