Ciner Black Rose with Diamonds Brooch

NWS 12-1582

~ Ciner is known as "the Tiffany of costume jewelry" because of their elegant designs and their attention to details. Ciner uses only Swarovski crystals in their jewelry, and their creations are always in demand, especially the vintage pieces.

~ This black enameled flower brooch has been artistically rendered with each petal outlined in faceted, faux diamonds. Another large, faceted stone takes center stage in a golden, bezel setting, drawing one's eye to the pinwheel -like heart of the flower. For added interest, Ciner has made each petal increasingly larger as they swirl around towards the outer edge. Notice that the flower is intentionally asymmetrical? That's the mark of a fine artist. Stunning.

~ The brooch measures slightly over 2" across. It's about .75" deep creating a lovely 3-dimensional look.

~ Signed "Ciner" on the reverse.

c. 1980, best guess, in perfect condition.

Price = $225.00 br2, a-c2
