14K Yellow Gold and Cultured Pearl Tree of Life Brooch - A circular openwork brooch crafted in solid 14 karat yellow gold featuring a three-dimensional Tree of Life motif. The design presents a gnarled, textured trunk with sprawling branches contained within a double-ring frame. Five white cultured pearls, each approximately 4mm in diameter, are set among the branches as decorative fruit. The pearls display a creamy luster with slight pink and green overtones. The reverse side features a horizontal pin stem secured with a revolving safety clasp. A stamp is present on the pin stem; while partially obscured by the metal texture, characters ”1” and ”4” followed by a third character resembling a ”K” are visible, corresponding to a 14K gold purity mark. Diameter: approximately 1 1/4 inches Weight: 9.325 grams. The brooch is in good vintage condition with minor surface wear and light scratches consistent with age (photo 2). All five cultured pearls are securely attached; one pearl exhibits a small surface blemish or pit visible under magnification (photo 1). The pin mechanism and revolving safety catch are fully functional (photo 4).
