This estate 1950s three-dimensional spider brooch is crafted in 18K white gold and is among the most extraordinary examples of mid-century figural jewelry craftsmanship. The spider's body is formed by one (1) oval grey moonstone measuring 29 x 16.8mm (39.13ct), its ethereal adularescent glow lending the arachnid form an otherworldly, luminous presence. Two (2) round cabochon blue sapphires measuring 2.7mm (.26ct total) serve as the eyes, while eight (8) faceted round cut blue sapphires measuring 2mm (.28ct total) mark the leg joints with vivid points of cool blue brilliance. The legs and head are pavé-set with twenty (20) full cut round diamonds measuring 2–2.4mm (.83ct total) and one hundred sixteen (116) single cut round diamonds measuring 1–1.19mm (1.34ct total), all graded G-H in color and VS2-SI1 in clarity, for a combined stone weight of 41.84ct. The brooch measures 2 1/16 x 2 5/16 inches overall, is secured with a 1 inch revolver clasp pin stem, and weighs 25.3 grams. Acid tested 18KT.
Three-dimensional figural brooches of the 1950s represent the apex of mid-century jewelry artistry — a period when master goldsmiths pushed the boundaries of sculptural metalwork to create wearable objects of genuine artistic ambition. The spider, a motif with deep symbolic resonance across cultures — representing creativity, patience, fate, and feminine power — has appeared in fine jewelry from the Victorian era through the present day, consistently captivating collectors for its bold, dramatic form. A spider brooch of this scale and gemstone content, with a 39ct moonstone body, diamond-pavé legs, and sapphire eyes and joints, represents an exceptional commission that would stand as a centerpiece in any serious collection of figural fine jewelry. The revolver clasp pin stem, a sophisticated mid-century closure mechanism, underscores the quality of construction throughout.
