Malcolm Gray Silver Modernist Brooch with Red Jasper, c.1960s–70s

A striking modernist silver brooch attributed to Malcolm Gray, featuring a sculptural openwork design centred on a rich red cabochon stone. The brooch is formed from intersecting silver bars and flowing wire loops, creating a dynamic, architectural composition typical of British studio jewellery of the mid-20th century. The stone is opaque with natural banding and colouring consistent with red jasper, a material frequently used by modernist designers of the period. The reverse is stamped SILVER and bears an MG maker’s mark within a circular cartouche, a punch associated with Malcolm Gray’s work.
