Estate Sterling Silver Czechoslovakian Dragon's Breath Glass Art Deco Brooch

This estate Art Deco sterling silver pin brooch is a captivating and highly collectible example of the period's celebrated use of Czechoslovakian art glass, featuring a 10.75mm round cabochon of Dragon's Breath glass set in a sterling silver frame. Stamped 925 for metal purity assurance, this petite brooch measures 3/4 inch in diameter and weighs 3.2 grams — a compact and wearable treasure that delivers extraordinary visual impact far beyond its modest size.

Dragon's Breath glass — produced exclusively in Czechoslovakia during the early twentieth century — is among the most prized and sought-after materials in the vintage jewelry collector's world, its name derived from the mesmerizing internal fire that glows from within the stone when light passes through it. The glass achieves its signature effect through a thin metallic foil backing beneath the translucent cabochon, creating a shifting, opalescent play of orange, red, and pink that recalls the luminous qualities of fine Mexican opal at a fraction of the cost. Authentic pre-war Czechoslovakian Dragon's Breath glass is increasingly rare and highly desirable, its production having ceased with the disruptions of the Second World War.
