This vintage Genuias enamel brooch, handcrafted in Quebec, captures the clean, symbolic forms of Canadian modernist jewelry. The circular design depicts an abstract bird-like figure — rendered in black, white, and silver enamel against a softly shimmering sage-green background.
Balancing sculptural simplicity with painterly texture, this piece reflects the refined craftsmanship and minimalist sensibility that defined Quebec’s enamel movement in the 1960s–1970s. Both collectible and wearable, it embodies the quiet sophistication of mid-century Canadian art jewelry.
