Hammerman Brothers 18K Gold Enamel Diamond Lion Brooch

Vintage Hammerman Brothers Lion Brooch

This striking vintage lion brooch by Hammerman Brothers is crafted in 18K yellow gold and showcases the firm’s exceptional mastery of sculptural design and enameling. Modeled in bold relief, the lion is rendered with expressive detail, featuring a richly textured mane accented with vibrant red enamel and framed by finely worked gold.

The face is brought to life with diamond-set accents, including the muzzle and eyes, which add brilliance and depth while emphasizing the lion’s alert, commanding expression. The contrast between the warm gold, vivid enamel, and sparkling diamonds creates a dramatic visual impact—both powerful and refined. The piece demonstrates Hammerman Brothers’ talent for transforming animal motifs into sophisticated works of high jewelry rather than novelty designs.

Substantial in weight and carefully finished on the reverse, this brooch reflects the high standards of craftsmanship associated with Hammerman Brothers’ mid-to-late 20th century creations. Confident and collectible, it is a distinctive statement jewel suited to collectors who appreciate bold design, fine materials, and exceptional artistry.
