✨✨✨
A true piece of American silversmith history — this vintage Stuart Nye dogwood brooch captures the beauty of the Southern springtime flower in hand-wrought sterling silver. Made in North Carolina during the 1940s, this signed piece (“NYE STERLING”) showcases the studio’s signature organic form, textured petals, and timeless craftsmanship.
Each Stuart Nye piece was hammered, formed, and finished by hand — no two are exactly alike. The dogwood motif, one of the studio’s most beloved designs, symbolizes renewal and resilience — making this brooch a meaningful and wearable heirloom.
Perfect for a wedding, anniversary, or holiday gift — this brooch pairs beautifully with a silk scarf, cashmere wrap, or linen blouse. Its organic curves and soft patina lend classic warmth to any outfit.
