Brooch, LSP, Oval Amethyst Jelly Cabochon, Bronze Cut-Leaf Frame, Victorian Style, Vintage 1960s–1970s

There is something deeply satisfying about a jelly cabochon — the way light moves through it, cool and slow, like looking into still water. This oval brooch centers a dark amethyst glass cabochon within a bronze-tone frame of cut leaves, accented at four points.

The effect is simultaneously Victorian, Art Nouveau, and entirely wearable right now — a brooch that feels inherited, even when it isn't. Likely attributed to L.S. Peterson Co. (LSP), a Providence, Rhode Island jewelry manufacturer active from 1939 to 1975, known for quality unmarked pieces with exactly this kind of architectural frame detail.

Rich amethyst is one of autumn's most flattering colors — stunning on a wool coat, a velvet blazer, or a cardigan. A wonderful gift for a collector, a lover of Victorian-inspired jewelry, or anyone who wears purple with intention.
