This vintage gold medallion brooch/pendant captures the essence of bold statement jewelry, blending influences from ancient cultures into a sophisticated, haute couture-inspired design. The circular design features an open center surrounded by textured gold rays, creating a sunburst effect, interspersed with geometric cutouts that lend a modernist edge. Vibrant cabochons in shades of imitation turquoise, lapis lazuli blue, earthy carnelian red, and jade green are set in a textured gold-tone base, mimicking the rich palettes and artistry of ancient Egyptian, Byzantine, and Etruscan designs. The piece's dimensionality and combination of textures evoke high-end runway jewelry. Its dual function as a brooch or pendant also increases its versatility.
