Vintage Inlay Heart Tassel Brooch/Pendant

A wonderful and striking piece from the late 20th Century. The brooch is marked with the maker Q.T. who are Quoc Turquoise Inc based in New Mexico in the USA, established in 1984. This maker made jewellery inspired by Native American designs and used a mix of genuine and imitation gemstones to create the beautiful, colourful inlays. They were popular in the 1990s and this wonderful piece has an array of tassels hanging from a beautiful decorative mount. It is made from sterling silver (marked on the back) and can easily be worn as a brooch or a pendant. I love its look and feel it makes a bold statement.

The chain pictured is for display only.
