14k Yellow Gold Diamond Bicycle Vintage Brooch
- Description
A moving bicycle, rendered in solid 14k yellow gold and pavé diamonds-the pedals turn, the wheels spin, the handlebars articulate. Figural brooches like this one belong to a tradition of novelty jewelry that peaked in the mid-20th century, when jewelers competed to capture everyday objects-animals, vehicles, instruments- in precious metal and stone. A working bicycle in miniature, in gold, was a jeweler's flex: it takes far more skill to make small moving parts than a static setting.
This piece is one of a kind-not a reproduction, not part of a current production run. Once it sells, this exact brooch will not exist again in Sheena Stone's inventory.

FAQ
Is this brooch a true antique or a reproduction?
This is an original vintage piece, not a modern reproduction.
Do the moving parts still work?
Yes, all the moving parts fully articulate - pedals, wheels and handlebars.
How do I wear a figural brooch like this?
Pin it to a lapel, a wide-brim hat, or a solid-color coat where the moving detail catches light. Figural brooches read best against plain fabric, not busy patterns.
