Complimentary Luxury Gift Presentation
Every fine jewelry purchase from Trendy Modern Home arrives beautifully presented in an elegant jewelry gift box, thoughtfully selected to complement your piece.
Bold, sculptural, and unapologetically modernist, this extraordinary oversized sterling silver brooch by American jewelry designer Andrea Chapin is a striking example of wearable art.
Measuring an impressive 5 inches in length, this substantial statement piece features a dramatic, asymmetrical boomerang-inspired silhouette with fluid, sweeping curves, elongated openwork elements, and three graduated circular cutouts. The combination of graceful movement and geometric precision creates a dynamic composition reminiscent of mid-century atomic-age design and avant-garde studio jewelry.
Beautifully crafted in sterling silver with a substantial weight of 23.7 grams, the brooch features smooth, sculptural surfaces and a brilliant, highly polished mirror finish that catches and reflects light from every angle.
The reverse is signed © Andrea Chapin – Sterling and is fitted with two straight post-style pin fasteners, providing additional support for this exceptionally large design.
Andrea Chapin operated a jewelry-making business known as Shapes By Andrea Chapin in Boston, Massachusetts, documented in a 2002 directory of local manufacturers. Her work reflects an appreciation for expressive forms and distinctive statement jewelry.
Whether displayed as a collectible example of American studio jewelry or worn as a dramatic accent on a tailored blazer, coat, or structured garment, this remarkable brooch makes an unforgettable impression.
Condition
Beautiful vintage condition. Recently professionally polished to restore its brilliant, mirror-like sterling silver finish. Minor surface reflections and fine lines may be visible in photographs due to the highly reflective nature of the polished silver.
A striking piece of collectible modernist jewelry for those who appreciate bold design, sculptural forms, and wearable art.
