Murrle Bennet and Co. Art Nouveau Turquoise Gold Brooch Pin Pearl Drop

This stunning brooch was made by the firm of Murrle Bennett and Company, an Anglo-German firm started by Ernst Murrle and J.B. Bennett, which produced pieces for retail by the store 'Liberty and Co.', the famous (and my personal favorite) London Arts and Crafts dealers. It’s the type of jewelry I can’t get enough of. There’s something so elegant and timeless about the stylized foliate forms, the usage of semi-precious stones, and the abstract motifs clearly influenced by nature. I can see myself now, with this brooch at the center of a white button-up blouse, faded jeans and pair of booties, just in time for fall.

This lovely Murrle and Bennett Company gold brooch was handcrafted in England around 1910. It’s an Art Nouveau pin with a turquoise at the center with a natural pearl drop set in 15 karat gold. It measures 30 x 26 mm and weighs 4.9 grams. It bears the gold purity mark, “15CT” and the maker’s mark, “MBCO”.

The company was in existence from 1886-1914. After World War I, the company was renamed White Redgrove & White. Murrle Bennett and Company jewelry is now highly sought-after and widely collected.
