Stunningly elegant! This brooch by Iradj Moini, premiere contemporary designer, is in a class by itself. Beautiful red glass cabochons and sparkling prong set rhinestones compose the piece.

Brooch is 4 1/2" by 4 1/2".

H. Dunay - A modern designed two-tone knot brooch in platinum and 18kt. brushed gold by the well known contemporary goldsmith and jewelry designer, Henry Dunay.

This pin is a simple design but an unusual one. It is a large 11cm semicircle—or it might be described as one-third of a full moon. This rarely seen pin was, according to the Georg Jensen company, designed by Gail Spence for Hans Hansen in the late 1980s. Hans Hansen became part of Georg Jensen in 1992. Since it has both hallmarks it was probably produced around that time. It is no longer in production.

This grape design is sometimes called Moonlight Grapes. An early Georg Jensen design (1920s), it was updated slightly in 2010, including giving individual grapes more heft. There are three especially large ones at the top of the bunch. Designed by Harald Nielsen, it measures 1.5in wide x 2.75in long (4cm x 7cm). I bought it in 2000 and it’s in excellent condition, almost never worn.
