Vintage 1970s Dutch Modernist 14K Gold and Diamond Textured Sculptural Starburst Brooch — David Webb & Andrew Grima Era

Vintage 1970s Dutch Modernist 14K Gold and Diamond Textured Sculptural Starburst Brooch — David Webb & Andrew Grima Era.

Some jewelry is instantly recognizable—not because it's copied, but because it belongs to a design movement. 
The bold, sculptural gold jewelry of the 1960s and 1970s produced some of the most imaginative designs of the 20th century. Think David Webb's celebrated Sea Urchin brooches or Andrew Grima's extraordinary textured gold creations. Both designers embraced organic forms, dramatic silhouettes, and unconventional textures that transformed precious metal into wearable sculpture.

This remarkable Dutch brooch from the 1970s beautifully captures that same adventurous spirit.

Crafted in textured 14K gold, its striking, asymmetrical starburst design features dozens of individually defined, staggered golden spikes radiating around an open center. Five sparkling brilliant-cut diamonds, totaling approximately 0.25 carats, provide delicate points of light against the dramatic goldwork.

The contrast between the rough, almost crystalline texture and the refined sparkle of the diamonds gives this piece its extraordinary character. Bold enough to make a statement, yet wonderfully wearable.
