An iconic piece of American Modernist jewelry in this rare large, exquisitely detailed vintage Ed Wiener brooch pendant. A heavy, textured rectangle of 18K gold anchors a bezel-set natural opal at its center, flashing a vivid rainbow of color with every turn.
The richly textured gold surface embodies the bold, sculptural style that made Ed Wiener one of the most celebrated jewelry designers of post-war New York City. His innovative form language helped define 20th-century studio jewelry, and his work remains part of major museum collections and prestigious private holdings today.
This substantial piece measures 2½ inches and weighs 31.8 grams, giving it genuine presence whether worn as a brooch or transformed into a pendant. A secure pin-style clasp holds it in place as a brooch, while two integral bail hooks allow effortless conversion for wear on a chain — pair it with an 18K gold chain (available in our other listings) for a versatile finished look.
Signed on the reverse "Ed Wiener 18K" and presented in its original Ed Wiener box, this brooch is a meaningful addition to any serious jewelry collection.
A true collector's piece — wearable art from one of America's most important modernist jewelers.
