Made in Vienna, Austria in the 1950s.
The brooch is finely modelled as a lily of the valley. The flower heads are superbly carved from frosted rock crystal and accented with diamonds. The green leaves are naturalistically carved from nephrite jade. The white 18K gold stems are tied with a ribbon and embellished with diamonds.
This is one of the nicest Lily of the Valley brooches of this type we’ve ever seen.

Marked with elephant head assay mark for Austrian 3rd gold standard (18K), “W’ for Vienna, and maker’s initials ‘AJ’.
