Swoboda-Natural Stone-Orange Jewel Carnelian Fruit Vintage Brooch

A vintage brooch with carnelian nuts arranged roundly on a jade leaf.

From bright orange to deep pomegranate color, the rich beauty that only natural stones can offer is the difference in color, shading, transparency, and pattern. The combination with the jade green of the jade leaves, which have even the veins drawn on them, is wonderful. This is a fresh piece of jewelry that will make you fall in love with it.

Swoboda is known for its colorful use of polished natural stones, rather than its ‘typical’ cut jewellery, and its wonderful designs with natural motifs such as birds, flowers and insects. It was founded in Los Angeles in 1956 and continued until 1979. It is said that engraved jewelry began to be engraved in 1966, and jewelry made before that time is not engraved.
