Art Deco Silver and Malachite Mounted Brooch

This delightful Malachite and silver brooch hails from the Art Deco period and is regarded as the 'essence of joy' and also known as the "stone of transformation" because it is believed to help reveal and heal emotional pain by absorbing the pain into the stone itself. Others say it is especially helpful in bringing ease during times of change and gives the insight needed for personal growth. It is a stone that became very fashionable during the Art Deco period and retains a significant place in 20th and 21st century fashion.
