Beautiful SPHINX Topaz Amber Givre Glass Large Statement Brooch Pin Open Back Table Cut. Heavy Glass. Scottish Faux Agate. Special Occasion / Everyday. Present Gift.
Circa 1960's
A STUNNING Eye-Catching Statement Piece - Perfect for ANY OCCASION!
Would make a GORGEOUS GIFT!
A fabulous large SPHINX givre glass brooch in
smoky topaz/amber colours with white swirls. A really stunning open
back table cut 'stone', which looks gorgeous when it catches the light.
A HUGE Statement piece, which is really heavy, denoting quality. The
stone is in remarkable condition, with no chips, just some very light
surface wear. The only thing, barely worth mentioning, is that some
of the gold wash has worn thin here and there, but you really don't
notice this unless scrutinising. The brooch fastens with a
secure rollover safety catch.
Sphinx
was an English Costume Jewellery Designer and Manufacturer, established
in 1948. They were famous for their exquisitely designed high-end
pieces with fabulous rhinestones and glass stones, which looked just
like the real thing. They made jewellery for Kenneth Jay Lane, Neiman
Marcus, Bloomingdales, Saks 5th Ave, etc. Therefore, many of their
pieces were not signed, as is the case with this one.
