Exceptional art nouveau sterling silver brooch, featuring Aphrodite in a swirling sea, circa 1905. The brooch is brilliantly done, starting with it’s shape which is an irregular circle – very organic and natural! The goddess emerges from the waves, bare-breasted, a flower in her flowing hair. From her up stretched hand cascade three small circular forms – I don’t think they’re a part of the wave motif. It’s possible that they represent the golden apples so important in many of her legends. ...click for details

Charming Victorian silver brooch depicting bird's nest with four eggs resting on a branch surrounded by ivy. Ivy often symbolizes undying affection; the eggs in the nest may indicate that this was a gift of love, possibly for a mother.

Clasp is probably an old replacement; two tiny pinholes from the original clasp are barely visible.
