Riker Bros. Amethyst Enamel Brooch Pendant - Vintage Jewelry for Women, Elegant Purple Gemstone Pin for Dresses, Coats & Special Occasions

Petite, yet enlivened with minute details, this antique Riker Brothers pendant brooch was inspired by nature.

A lilac-hued faceted bullet-shaped amethyst rests inside a serrated bezel.

Flowing leaves dance around the perimeter, hand painted with translucent enamels in shades of green from the palest celery to deeper grass hues. Between these, tiny flower clusters of gold are placed amid textured spirals.

Delicate looking yet perfect for everyday wear, understated and dating to circa 1900.
