Vintage Israeli sterling silver brooch and pendant featuring an Eilat stone surrounded by cultured pearls.
Key Details About Your Brooch
The Gemstone: The beautiful green centerpiece is an Eilat stone, which is the national gemstone of Israel.
It is a natural combination of several copper minerals, including chrysocolla, malachite, and turquoise. This unique mix gives it those distinct swirling shades of green and blue.
The Metal Work: The piece is made of 925 sterling silver, which is often finished with a gold wash or vermeil plating to give it that warm, golden look around the edges.
The delicate, twisted wire patterns surrounding the stone are done in a traditional Yemenite filigree style, a craftsmanship method very famous in mid-century Israeli jewelry design.
Dual Function: Pieces like this were cleverly made to be worn two ways. It has a pin on the back to be used as a brooch, but it also features a small loop (bail) so you can slide it onto a chain and wear it as a necklace pendant.
