On this piece
A perfect introduction to Ming’s, and a lovely thing in its own right. This vintage Ming’s of Honolulu brooch is solid 14K yellow gold, built around a domed cultured pearl and translucent carved jade in the house’s beloved floral design — everything that made Ming’s famous, in a gracefully scaled 1.75-inch piece. The domed pearl is a Ming’s signature, its soft glow set against the cool translucence of the jade; together they’re the marriage the house perfected over sixty years. It’s signed Ming’s and 14K on the reverse, weighs a solid 8.73 grams, and is in excellent condition. For a collector beginning with Ming’s, or anyone who wants the house’s unmistakable Hawaiian-Asian elegance without a five-figure price, this brooch is exactly right. Delicate, wearable, and thoroughly authentic — a small garden in gold, pearl, and jade, from the jeweler that defined the islands.
