Vintage African Beauty Sterling Silver Designer Brooch by Joe Calafato

| ayquebella.com |
Magnificent and majestic, sterling silver brooch by world-renowned, South African jewelry designer, Joe Calafato under his Candida jewelry line. His timeless, African iconography and aesthetic appreciation of African expressions of culturally traditional, African female beauty is once again evident in this beautiful brooch. Calafato is known the world over for his designs that have an engaging quality of compositions of African life. This brooch is a masterfully designed portrayal of an African beauty with her hair tightly coiled on one side, and artistically dreadlocked on the other. Her true beauty is revealed in the subtly of her face – the sparkle in her wide-eyed gaze, the fullness of her lips, the roundness of her cheeks. She is adorned with splendid, traditional African neck jewelry and gold-colored hoop earrings that swing and sway and draw the eye toward her and frame her remarkable face.
This brooch has an endearing and enduring sentiment for one with a keen eye for African beauty and art. The brooch is coated with a very light, undisturbed, natural patina and is hallmarked.
