J.E. Caldwell & Co. Ruby Sapphire Diamond American Patriotic Brooch

J.E. Caldwell & Co. 18K Gold & Platinum Gemstone Anchor, Shield & Eagle Wings Brooch

An exceptional American patriotic brooch by J.E. Caldwell & Co., masterfully hand-made in 18K gold and platinum. Measuring an impressive 2.5 inches in length, this commanding jewel features a powerful composition centered on an eagle, anchor, and shield — enduring symbols of American strength, naval heritage, and unity.

The outstretched wings evoke the American eagle, rendered with remarkable dimensional detail and accented with brilliant diamonds set in platinum. Beneath the wings rests a finely sculpted anchor, symbolizing stability and maritime tradition. At the center, a bold shield motif is set with richly colored rubies and deep blue buffed-cut sapphires, forming a refined interpretation of the American colors.

The buffed-cut sapphires are particularly noteworthy. Unlike standard faceted stones, their softly polished surfaces create a smooth, luminous depth of color, adding richness and texture to the shield’s design. The rubies are precisely arranged within the geometric framework, creating architectural balance and vibrant contrast against the gold.

The brooch demonstrates exceptional hand craftsmanship, evident in the detailed wing articulation, platinum diamond settings, and the sculptural integration of gold and platinum elements. The reverse bears the signature of J.E. Caldwell & Co., one of America’s most respected historic jewelers, confirming its authenticity and heritage.

At 2.5 inches across, this is a statement jewel — bold yet refined, patriotic yet sophisticated. It represents a moment in American jewelry when symbolism, artistry, and technical excellence converged in a single powerful design.
