Enamel Flower Brooch Dandelion Pink Faux Pearl Vintage 1950s

Description

View Enamel Flower Brooch Dandelion Pink Faux Pearl Vintage 1950s with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The dandelion motif makes this especially appealing. Rather than a conventional rose or daisy bouquet, the deeply cut leaves and airy flower heads give it the whimsical appearance of a tiny wildflower freshly gathered from a garden. This charming dimensional enamel flower brooch depicts a stylized dandelion with deeply lobed foliage, rounded flower clusters and smaller radiating blossoms. Painted metal petals in soft pink and creamy ivory surround faux pearl centers, while the sculptural leaves retain touches of fresh green enamel over an ivory ground. The combination creates the wonderfully delicate, almost hand-painted appearance associated with mid-century enamel floral jewelry. The construction gives this little 2 inch brooch remarkable dimension. Individual metal flowers are layered and assembled into rounded clusters rather than formed as a single flat element. The reverse reveals the framework supporting the blossoms along with a long pin stem and rollover safety clasp. The painted metal construction, faux pearl embellishment, dimensional floral work and clasp are consistent with mid-century costume jewelry, likely dating to approximately the 1950s to early 1960s. The dandelion motif makes this especially appealing. Rather than a conventional rose or daisy bouquet, the deeply cut leaves and airy flower heads give it the whimsical appearance of a tiny wildflower freshly gathered from a garden. Why You Will Be Obsessed With It The dandelion motif is wonderfully unusual. Tiny individually formed flowers create incredible dimension. Soft pink and ivory enamel gives it a romantic pastel palette. Creamy faux pearls add classic mid-century femininity. Deeply lobed green leaves create a distinctive botanical silhouette. At just 2 inches, it has plenty of personality without overwhelming a lapel. Condition Good vintage condition with noticeable age-related wear. There is scattered enamel loss, chipping and rubbing, particularly along raised petals, leaves and edges, with areas of exposed metal and discoloration visible on the reverse. The faux pearl accents show age-related surface wear and variation. Despite the wear, the intricate dimensional construction remains wonderfully appealing and the brooch displays beautifully. Please review the photographs closely as they are an important part of the condition description. Measurements Approximately 2 inches long, or 5.1 cm. Please allow for slight measurement variation due to the dimensional construction. How to Style It Pin this little dandelion to a cardigan, linen jacket, spring coat, scarf or simple dress. The soft pink, ivory and green palette works especially well with cream, blush, sage, denim and black, while the sculptural shape makes it an easy personality piece for a lapel.
