Vine 14kt Gold Black Pearl Grape Cluster Brooch / Pin
This 14kt. gold One Leaf and Vine Brooch has a large leaf and a gold runner wire on an 1 1/8" long vine. The grape cluster has 29 4mm. round Black and Peacock Colored Freshwater Pearls hand mounted to a 14kt. gold grape stem. That is over 3 1/2 carats total weight of Freshwater Pearls! The Freshwater Pearls on this piece vary greatly in color and slightly in shape. This is what gives each piece a unique and beautiful look. 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.
