Are you looking for a unique and characterful piece of vintage jewelry from Dutch soil?
This magnificent, large silver designer brooch is a masterful example of artisanal craftsmanship from the famous silver city of Schoonhoven. Crafted by the renowned silversmith H. Niekerk, this is a piece of jewelry guaranteed to attract admiring glances.
This brooch is a stunning statement piece with a sophisticated interplay of light and shadow:
  • The motif: The brooch has a slightly domed shape and is composed of a complex, openwork pattern of graceful baroque scroll and leaf motifs.
  • The center: The heart of the brooch is adorned with a striking, high-polish pyramid-shaped stud with a finely chased edge.
  • The edge: The exterior is finished with a sleek, geometric twelve-pointed star shape with elegant semicircular arches projecting from underneath. This gives the piece a dynamic and generous appearance.
The brooch is hallmarked on the edge of the back and is officially assayed (see macro photos):
  • Maker's mark: N10 in a rectangle – H. Niekerk (Schoonhoven, known for their high-quality and artistic silver jewelry).
  • Purity mark: 835 stamped within the Dutch "Zwaardje" (small sword) (Second grade silver, the ideal and durable standard for sturdy vintage brooches).
  • Dimensions: A large diameter of no less than 5.5 cm (55 mm)
  • Fastening: Equipped with a solid roll-over clasp, allowing the brooch to be worn securely and firmly on clothing.
  • Condition: In brilliant, original vintage condition with a beautiful depth-enhancing patina between the silver scrolls.
Thanks to its generous size, this designer brooch is perfectly suited to be worn on a nice blazer, a wool coat, or as a clasp for a chic scarf. A timeless piece of jewelry for the enthusiast of Dutch silver design.
