Barbara Gambin (Australia) A handcrafted sterling silver brooch designed as a stylistic tree of life, bezel-set with natural-shaped green peridot, purple amethyst and red/orange garnets. Nature is said to dictate Gambin's work, where she carries out a phenomenal job at working around the raw shapes and designs of the materials.
Measurements: 7.2cm x 4.2cm. Total weight of 16.6 grams.
Condition: The brooch is in overall good condition, displaying signs of general wear commensurate with age and use. The large peridot to the lower left retains its natural form and surface characteristics, including inherent abrasions. The bezel setting has been skilfully shaped to accommodate the stone's irregular contours. These features are consistent with the natural characteristics of the gemstone and the jeweller's original design, rather than indicative of damage.
