the look

a collectible mid century sterling brooch signed sorrento, featuring three carved scarab gemstones perched on a sculptural stem with high relief silver leaves. the scarab carving nods to the egyptian revival jewelry trend that stayed popular through the 1950s and 1960s, especially in american sterling and gold filled lines. sorrento is a known vintage jewelry mark connected to the uncas / sorrentino family of rhode island makers, often seen paired with carved stones and delicate metalwork. an easy statement piece for lapels and knits, and especially strong for buyers who collect scarab and revival motifs
