Unusual biomorphic brooch, marked sterling, Secrest on the back, is a heavily engraved design by sculptor and jewelry designer Russell Secrest, probably dating to the 1950s. Contrast between the high, bright finish sections and the deeply etched and engraved sections give the piece a superb 3-dimensional look.
This Russell Secrest modernist sterling brooch is in excellent original condition with a secure safety clasp. 1 3/4 x 1 3/8 x 3/8 inch deep, weighing 12.7 grams
