Gubelin 18k Yellow Gold Brutalist Libra Zodiac Brooch Astrological Pin




From their 1980 Zodiac line, this fabulous modernist Gubelin LIBRA Brooch is a rare item. I have not found any of the Zodiac pieces of jewelry that weren’t pendants. I believe this one was bespoke or custom made by Gubelin as the craftsmanship is unwavering. Marked with the company on the bottom outside of the ring and the number 750.
This brooch has clearly seen use but it is not abused. It looks as though it was probably worn on the lapel of a suit jacket on a frequent basis. The modernist style doesn’t scream zodiac, so this pin would also make a fine gift for a lawyer interested in the scales of justice.
The pin weighs 6 g and is 23.75mm in diameter.
If you know this 40 year old line of Zodiac jewelry you’ll know the pendants, in mint condition, are normally priced at $3200.

*Take 20% off when you spend $50.00 or more. No coupon necessary. Discount taken at checkout. Sale Runs Till December 1st, 2022. Happy Holidays!
