Attributed to CAPRI, this rare jewelry set comprises an abstract heart-shaped brooch and coordinating screw-back earrings, showcasing the brand’s exemplary craftsmanship and unique design—a testament to the artistry of the 1960s.
The pieces are expertly crafted from gold-plated metal, boasting a richly textured surface with a brushed finish that captures and diffuses light, providing a soft, luminous quality distinct from the typical polish of contemporary jewelry. This design choice accentuates the set's sculptural form and emphasizes the abstract, heart-shaped contours—an echo of the era's affinity for bold, conceptual shapes.
At the center of each piece is a trio of faux jade cabochon beads, arranged in a triangular formation that not only draws the eye but also harmonizes with the golden tones, creating striking visual harmony. This central motif could represent a stylized flower or remain an open-ended symbol, offering personal significance to the wearer. The earrings feature comfortable screw-back mechanisms, ensuring a secure fit for all, reflective of the era's inclusive approach to jewelry design.
This CAPRI set is a quintessential example of mid-century modern jewelry design, merging abstract artistry with functional elegance. It offers a versatile option for vintage jewelry collectors seeking to acquire a piece that possesses both historical charm and contemporary appeal.
