Vienna, Austria, circa 1950s
The brooch is finely modelled as a lily of the valley. The flower heads are carved from frosted rock crystal and mounted in 14K white gold. Each green leave is naturalistically carved from a single piece of nephrite jade.
This is one of the nicest carving of jade leaves we have ever seen.
