About this piece
This Soviet-era brooch showcases the distinctive metalwork favoured during the 1970s. The face is a marvel of hand-crafted detail: a radiating diamond-cut pattern fills the oval centre, its facets engineered to catch light with precision. The surround is an ornate coiled wirework border—a labour-intensive technique popular in Eastern European jewellery of the period—which frames the geometric design and adds substantial three-dimensional texture.
The brooch arrives in its original burgundy presentation box with cream interior, a nice detail that speaks to its retail life and period packaging. The metal shows light wear consistent with age and occasional wear; the faceted face remains crisp and reflective. A fine example of Soviet fashion jewellery, it blends geometric modernism with traditional filigree craft. The pin and catch remain secure. We recommend storing it in a soft pouch to protect the detailed border from snagging.
