Vintage Lighthouse Brooch of 10k Gold

A charming vintage brooch (circa 1935-1955), designed as a finely detailed lighthouse crafted in 10 karat gold, featuring a sparkling diamond “light.” Created by Sutton Co., W.L. of Jacksonville, FL, the piece captures the romantic symbolism of guidance, safety, and steadfastness, with the diamond adding a subtle point of brilliance that brings the lighthouse to life. The sculptural design reflects mid-century craftsmanship, with clean lines and thoughtful detailing that give the piece both character and wearability.

The brooch measures 1.05 inches by 0.7 inches wide and weighs 2.79 grams, offering a delicate yet distinctive presence when worn. It is presented in great vintage condition, with the diamond secure and surfaces well preserved.

Gemstone identification has been confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique that provides a precise chemical fingerprint to verify authenticity. Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 10K gold construction. A whimsical and collectible example of mid-century figural jewelry.
