Rare 1930 - 40s Vintage Sterling Silver Floral Brooch - Large and Dimensional

Description

Such an unusual beauty!

This mod-styled, World War II era floral brooch is stunningly unique!

The dimensional petals are double layered, with 4 petals on each layer. Eight prong-set rhinestones are featured as stamen in green, blue, gold and varied stones mixed with green & pink.

Eight curled prongs secure a centered, large blue cut glass stone----teardrop-shaped, and generously cut for a very eye-catching shine & shimmer....simply stunning!

On the back it is hallmarked "Sterling". When discovered, it was severely tarnished, and not nearly the little gem as it appears now! Hints on the backside make me think it may have once been covered with gold vermeil....a very, very long time ago!

The flower itself measures approximately 2-1/2" in diameter. The length of this brooch is 3-3/4".

This piece will be shipped insured First Class US Mail.

A very rare & showcase piece!
