Beau Sterling made sterling silver jewelry in Providence, Rhode Island from 1947 to 2004. This is exactly the kind of piece that made them beloved.
Signed "BEAU STER" in a rectangular cartouche — the mark that identifies Beau Sterling silver — this abstract open-heart brooch comprises three wavy loops in a form that is at once romantic and modernist. Lightweight sterling silver that won't pull on clothing. Rollover safety clasp. Very good condition with only the expected minor signs of age.
A quietly beautiful gift for the sterling silver collector, the modernist jewelry enthusiast, or anyone who appreciates a piece that expresses something without overexplaining it.
