This is a breathtaking antique brooch probably from the late 1940s or early 1950s. A large swirly design with a combination of pasted in rhinestone chatons and baguettes. The rhodium plating is in excellent condition, as to be expected. However, I listed the condition for this pin as Very Good because some of the stones are beginning to give off a yellowish cast. None of them are dark and all are intact with none missing. This brooch is still very highly collectible and wearable, but I try to exercise full disclosure in my listings. AND I am listing it for less than I would have had all the stones been perfectly clear. The pin is unsigned, but sure looks like it should be. A classic unsigned beauty! It has a standard circle clasp closure that is in good working order. The pin itself shows some surface metal wear and is ever so slightly bent, but this does not interfere with function at all.The brooch measures 3 by 1.75 inches. A truly fabulous addition to your vintage costume jewelry collection. Fantastic gift idea for a collector, too!
