Pierre Bex 1980’s Art Deco "Strass" Line Geometric Black Enamel Marcasite Bow Brooch




Pierre Bex 1980’s Art Deco "Strass" Line Geometric Black Enamel Marcasite Bow Brooch
Materials and Features:
Liquid Resin Enamel Doming: Deep black lacquer encased in a hand-poured, crystal-clear resin lens that mimics the liquid depth of 1920's onyx. The pristine transparency of the dome indicates high-caliber archival storage.
Strass Line Marcasite Border: A dual-texture architectural frame featuring sparkling marcasite-style "Strass" rhinestones and metallic accents. These provide a high-refraction Machine Age glimmer characteristic of 1980's French revival engineering.
High-Gauge Silver-Tone Casting: A substantial, weighted alloy base featuring crisp, multi-tier geometric bevelling. The 7g density ensures the piece holds its silhouette without the warping common in thin-stamped "flooded market" alternatives.
Archival French Engineering: Crafted from original Art Deco master stampings used by the Pierre Bex factory. The reverse features the signature vertical combed bark texture and integrated pin-guard, verifying its status as an authentic boutique piece.
Mechanical Integrity: Reliable standard roll-over safety catch with a heavy-duty pin-stem. This Survivor assembly remains straight and secure for a flush, professional fit.
