Brooch made from a hollow gold tube curved into an oval shape to represent a grape vine with a bunch of pink coral grapes at center. Cut "stem" ends of the vine frame the coral, with additional gold wire curls enhancing the vine effect. The vine is chased and engraved. Repair with gold wire on one side.
