Catamore-12K Gold Filled-Large Onyx Eye Brooch

An antique brooch with a bezel-set onyx stone that looks like a large eye, and a ribbon-like motif of two leaves on both sides.

Onyx is said to be a power stone that gives you inner strength, concentration, will power, stabilizing your axis, and giving you the power to move forward.

The back of the brooch is engraved with CATAMORE. Catamore was founded in 1942 in Rhode Island, the mecca of American costume jewelry. This manufacturer continued until 1981.

Gold-filled is more than 100 times thicker than regular gold plating (gold coating), and because it is bonded with heat, it is durable and difficult to peel off, and the color and texture are comparable to solid gold. In Western Europe, it is often seen in high-quality antique jewelry and vintage accessories with high design.
