NO MONKEY BUSINESS HERE: A FANTASTICALLY FIGURATIVE BROOCH FROM 1902 FEATURING TWO DIAMOND-SET MONKEYS, ONE PERCHED AND ONE SWINGING BELOW, ANCHORED BY CULTURED PEARLS. REMARKABLY, THE 14K GOLD AND SILVER GIVE THIS FUN JEWEL SUBTLE DEPTH AND CONTRAST.


YOU MUST HAVE THIS because figural animal brooches of this scale and humour are prized among collectors, especially in diamond and pearl combinations. This one-of-a-kind piece is excellently priced for those looking to build a collection of period fine jewels and notable brooches.

STYLE: As seen in the Gallery, this two-monkey brooch adds fun to any timeless staples. We love it, equally, when whimsically pinned to a hat or to the lapel of a winter overcoat. One thing is guaranteed: this jewel will never not be a conversation starter!
