Description

A finely detailed Italian 18K yellow gold horse and jockey brooch, masterfully capturing the energy and elegance of equestrian sport.

Handcrafted with remarkable attention to form and motion, the piece depicts a horse in full stride pulling a sulky driver, finished with green, black, and brown hand-enameled accents. The meticulous craftsmanship is evident in the sculpted musculature, flowing mane, and dynamic posture, all characteristic of mid-century Italian jewelry artistry.

Stamped “750 05 AI Italy” on the underside, this brooch originates from an Italian goldsmith registered in Vicenza, a renowned center of fine goldwork. The piece exemplifies Italy’s postwar jewelry renaissance — where bold creativity met refined technical precision.
