This striking mid-century brooch features six genuine tiger eye cabochons arranged in a graceful circular wreath design.

The warm golden-brown stones are set into sculptural ribbon-like arcs of gold filled metal, creating movement and dimensional depth typical of mid-century jewelry design. The brooch is clearly marked 1/20 12K GF A&Z, indicating substantial 12 karat gold filled construction rather than simple plating. Gold filled jewelry contains a thick bonded layer of real gold and was widely used in better-quality mid-20th century jewelry because it offered durability and the look of solid gold at a more accessible price. The design reflects the organic sculptural style popular during the 1950s–1960s mid century modern era, when natural gemstones like tiger eye, jade, and agate became fashionable accents in gold jewelry.
