Description

View 1940s Pot Metal Brooch Clear Blue Rhinestone Flower Bouquet Retro Vintage with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The brooch is unsigned, so no maker attribution is being made. The sculptural leaves and tied bouquet design are beautifully detailed. The flowers feature individually set marquise-cut glass rhinestones in clear and vivid aqua blue. This striking 1940s floral bouquet brooch is a wonderful example of Retro-era costume jewelry. Cast in substantial silver-tone pot metal, the piece forms a dimensional spray of two flowers surrounded by sweeping openwork leaves and finished with a stylized tied-ribbon stem. The flowers feature individually set marquise-cut glass rhinestones in clear and vivid aqua blue. Clear stones form one flower while brilliant blue stones create the second, with round clear rhinestones accenting the centers. The combination of clear and blue gives the brooch beautiful contrast and sparkle. Intricate stippled and textured metalwork across the leaves and ribbon adds visual depth beyond the stones themselves. The substantial cast construction, open-backed flower settings, textured pot-metal body, long pin stem and stylized floral spray are consistent with 1940s costume jewelry. Bold floral motifs and colorful glass rhinestones were characteristic of jewelry from this period, particularly when paired with heavier molded base-metal construction. The brooch is unsigned, so no maker attribution is being made. Why You Will Be Obsessed With It The clear and blue rhinestones create gorgeous two-tone sparkle. Bright aqua blue stones immediately draw the eye. Substantial 1940s pot-metal construction gives it authentic period character. The sculptural leaves and tied bouquet design are beautifully detailed. Its 2 inch size gives you noticeable sparkle while remaining highly wearable. Condition Very good vintage condition with age-appropriate surface wear, oxidation, darkening and patina to the silver-tone pot-metal finish. The clear and blue glass stones show expected minor age-related wear while retaining attractive color and sparkle. The textured metalwork remains well defined, and the openwork construction presents beautifully. The pin stem and clasp are present and appear functional.
