This striking brooch is a perfect example of the Brutalist movement within Finnish jewelry design, particularly during the 1970s.
Crafted by the renowned Pentti Sarpaneva, it features the characteristic 'Pitsi' or 'Lace' pattern, which offers a delicate appearance despite its solid silver construction.
The complex, openwork design reflects a masterful blend of organic forms and architectural structure, typical of Sarpaneva's bold aesthetic. The piece is fully hallmarked, confirming its Finnish origin.
Measuring 4.8cm in diameter, it's a substantial piece that would make a statement on any outfit, capturing the essence of Nordic design from the era.
This has been cleaned and polished ready to wear.
