Simply beautiful, sterling silver brooch by world-renowned, South African jewelry artist, Joe Calafato. His timeless, African iconography and aesthetic appreciation of African expressions of nurturance, protection, and culturally traditional, African female beauty is evident in this fantastic brooch. Calafato is known for his designs that have an endearing quality of compositions of African life. The oval-form brooch is a masterfully designed depiction of an African mother wearing a traditional headdress, beads, and adornments, carrying her sleeping, infant child on her back. This brooch has an enduring sentiment for one with a discerning eye for African beauty and art. The brooch is coated with a very rich, undisturbed, natural patina and is hallmarked.

These cuff links are a masterfully designed portrayal of two Nubian princesses wearing a traditional majestic headdress with imperial expressions upon their faces on the “front face” end and an African shield on the toggle end. These cuff links have an endearing and enduring sentiment for one with a keen eye for African beauty and art. These handsome cuff links have a natural patina and are hallmarked, not with one of Calafato’s more well-known maker’s marks, but are instead hallmarked with his signature all-caps, arial font, SILVER. These gorgeous cuff links will be an attention grabber on your favorite shirt!
