Vintage R. Larin Brutalist Gold Tone Brooch with Pearl Center – Canadian Modernist Statement Pin

A striking brutalist brooch by Canadian designer R. Larin, featuring sculptural gold tone texture arranged in a bold geometric form with a luminous pearl center. The heavily textured surface and architectural design reflect the modernist and brutalist jewelry aesthetic of the 1970s–1980s, where organic casting and raw surfaces were embraced as design elements.

The brooch has a powerful presence while still remaining elegant thanks to the soft pearl accent at the center. Signed R. Larin on the reverse, this piece represents the distinctive style of Canadian costume jewelry from the late 20th century.
