Mid-Century 9ct Yellow Gold Garnet 6-rayed Star Brooch Pendant

A bold and sculptural vintage 9ct yellow gold garnet star brooch, designed as a striking six-rayed celestial motif and assayed in London, 1977. This versatile piece is fitted with both a brooch pin and pendant suspension loop, allowing it to be worn as either a statement brooch or a dramatic necklace centrepiece.

The brooch is richly pavé-set with a total of 37 natural garnets, arranged in a carefully graduated composition that creates a dynamic starburst effect. The design combines layered construction with sharply defined rays, reflecting the continued influence of mid-century modernist jewellery design into the late 20th century.

A highly wearable and collectible vintage jewel, combining celestial design, strong craftsmanship, and enduring appeal.
