{"product_id":"brutalist-opal-and-diamond-brooch","title":"Brutalist Opal and Diamond Brooch","description":"\u003cp\u003eAccording to Merriam-Webster, the Brutalist architecture that emerged in the United Kingdom during the 1950s \"...is characterized by minimalist constructions that showcase the bare building materials and structural elements over decorative design.\" When translated to jewelry, it results in a distinctive mixture of shapes, textures, and dimensions, often punctuated with colorful gemstones--and decorative design is not neglected. This singular 1960s brooch displays all of these. Deeply textured overlapping rectangles are accented with bright rays of high-polish gold, and brightened by five opals aglow with intense iridescent hues of green, orange, blue, yellow, and red, while a sprinkling of six scintillating round brilliant-cut diamonds adds sparks of light. A striking structure indeed. Total diamond weight - .55 carat, total opal weight - 3.50 carats. A wonderful work of wearable art, crafted in 14K gold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lang Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53914396950856,"sku":"50-1-11305","price":2675.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0969\/2122\/3496\/files\/brutalist-opal-and-diamond-brooch_3_50-1-11305.jpg?v=1787827108","url":"https:\/\/langantique.com\/products\/brutalist-opal-and-diamond-brooch","provider":"Lang Antique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
