AIROLDI is an Italian jewelry manufacturer known for its high-quality silverware, often gilded, decorated with imitation pearls or enamel. The asterisk mark ( ★ 118 VI) indicates the Italian assay office registration code, in this case the Vicenza (VI) area. This is a modernist-style brooch, decorated with spiral metal and a prominent imitation pearl, which is of very high quality, showing the meticulous workmanship typical of Airoldi's production.
The style, manufacturing quality, and markings reflect late 20th-early 21st century Italian design, when Airoldi produced luxury jewelry.
