Measuring about 1 3/16” in diameter, this beautifully crafted pin/brooch has no maker’s mark to determine whose work it is. The back side of the brooch is just as finely styled as the front; it’s a shame that when it is worn, all of the detail can’t be seen. I can’t determine if the rhinestones are glass, but they are very well faceted and catch the light, producing lots of sparkle. I don’t know if the gold tone was every shiny, but it has a wonderful antiqued gold look to it now. I would guess that it is probably from the 1940-50s era. The C-clasp works very well, but you do have to be careful to make sure the pin in caught in the clasp. It’s a beautiful piece, but my camera doesn't do it justice. The rhinestones are a deeper red than the photos portray, and the filigree work looks a little fuzzy.

This would be a stunning addition to your vintage costume jewelry collection. Please contact us if you have any questions.
