This exquisite early 20th-century brooch captures the enduring charm of the pansy, a flower long associated with love and remembrance. Rendered in rich, deep purple enamel, the petals are delicately edged with a border of luminous half pearls, while a larger post-set pearl gleams at the center—creating a jewel of both beauty and symbolism.

Crafted in solid 14k gold, the brooch measures 0.9 inches from top to bottom by 0.8 inches wide. It remains in great condition, with only a single minor chip to the enamel on the top left petal (visible only under magnification). The reverse bears the maker’s mark for Krementz & Company of Newark, NJ, one of America’s most celebrated jewelry houses of the era, renowned for its enamel work and finely wrought designs.

The gold content has been verified through XRF (x-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, ensuring both purity and authenticity.

A timeless jewel from a storied maker, this brooch is as wearable today as it was over a century ago—an elegant addition to a curated collection of antique American jewelry.
