We’re a team of artists assisting a nonprofit that was gifted a nearly 100-year-old emerald and diamond brooch—an exquisite but unconventional piece with a distinct Art Deco design. While beautiful, its current form hasn’t resonated with today’s market, and we’re exploring a strategic redesign (please see quick Below are some quick AI generated ideas below as well as a photo of the real brooch that is the size of a silver dollar.
The brooch was appraised by Gunderson Jewelry in 2002 for $10,000. Given inflation and the significant appreciation of emeralds over the past two decades, its value today is notably higher. Two of the emeralds on the brooch appear comparable in size and quality to stones featured in high-end rings currently listed at $10,000 and above.
We’re seeking a jeweler or estate buyer to partner on this opportunity. Negotiable Options include (but not limited to, as please share other ideas):
Outright purchase of the brooch
Collaborative redesign into rings and earrings, with shared revenue or partial buyout
Hybrid model: upfront payment for half the value, with contingency or resale participation
We’re based in La Jolla and can meet locally or host a visit. This is a time-sensitive offer, and while flexible on structure, we require at least partial upfront payment to proceed.
Please check the links below and respond with your interest or proposal. We’re excited to explore creative and mutually beneficial options.
