Many visitors to Florence sought out Peruzzi jewelry as wearable works of art, and today signed examples remain highly sought after by collectors worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLarger, more elaborate Peruzzi designs—particularly those featuring gemstone settings, articulated elements, and dual-purpose pendant\/brooch construction—are among the most desirable pieces produced by the workshop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn good vintage condition with a beautiful aged patina consistent with age.
