Brooch by Bernhard Hertz*
Item Description

Crafted in the form of stylised fruit and leaves partially framed by sweepingly curved sides and with interlinking silver beadwork culminating in a double drop.
Set with cornelian cabochons plus two that are teardrop shaped completing the drop.

The brooch is a fraction over 6 cm wide with a total length of 11 cm.
