Pieces of this period frequently emphasized dramatic scale and sculptural forms, creating jewelry that could transform the lapel of a tailored jacket, coat or dress. The warm gold plated finish creates classic 1940s glamour. This striking 1940s brooch combines the substantial construction of vintage pot metal jewelry with the romantic glamour of faux pearls and rhinestones. Finished in warm gold plating, the large dimensional design resembles an elegant floral bouquet or spray, with slender stems rising from dramatic curling leaves and ribbon-like openwork flourishes. Seven elongated creamy faux pearl buds form the focal points of the arrangement, each held within a sculpted petal-like setting. Small clear rhinestones accent the stems beneath the pearl buds, introducing flashes of light without overwhelming the softly luminous pearls. The sweeping openwork base gives the brooch wonderful movement, while its approximately 3-inch scale creates the bold presence associated with statement costume jewelry of the era. The substantial cast pot metal construction, dimensional floral composition, faux pearl embellishment, individually set rhinestones and long pin stem are consistent with 1940s costume jewelry construction and design. Pieces of this period frequently emphasized dramatic scale and sculptural forms, creating jewelry that could transform the lapel of a tailored jacket, coat or dress. Why You Will Be Obsessed With It The large 3-inch silhouette has fabulous statement-making presence. Seven creamy faux pearl buds create beautiful dimension and luster. Clear rhinestones provide just the right amount of vintage sparkle. The sculptural floral spray looks like a miniature bouquet in jewelry form. Sweeping openwork curls give the design wonderful movement. The warm gold plated finish creates classic 1940s glamour. It is dramatic enough for display yet completely wearable today. Condition Good vintage condition with age-related wear consistent with an approximately 80-year-old piece. The gold plated finish displays areas of surface wear, oxidation and color variation, particularly along exposed edges and portions of the reverse. The faux pearls show some age-related surface wear visible upon close inspection, and the rhinestones exhibit typical vintage aging. The long pin stem and closure are present.
