20K Yellow Gold Carved Carnelian and Ram Motif Brooch with Granulated Drops

A bold and symbolically rich 20K yellow gold brooch featuring a central carved carnelian medallion depicting two opposing griffin-like creatures facing a ceremonial torch motif — a design strongly rooted in ancient Persian and Near Eastern iconography representing protection, authority, and divine power.

The carved centerpiece is dramatically framed by three sculpted ram figures — one positioned above and two flanking the sides — each with curled horns, detailed collars, and finely textured wings. The lower edge is adorned with five hollow engraved gold bead drops in granulated detail, adding movement and depth to the composition.

Crafted in a high-karat gold typical of Middle Eastern fine jewelry, the piece blends antiquity-inspired symbolism with the craftsmanship of a late 20th-century workshop, executed in a style inspired by Achaemenid and Sassanian treasures.

A striking statement jewel for collectors of historical revival gold — wearable art with cultural presence. Worn by singer, Leon Bridges to the UNICEF Gala in December 2025.
