A pretty vintage floral spray brooch, most likely Czech, from around the 1940s–50s. It’s made of gilt wire stems tied in a bow, set with claw-set clear and mint-green rhinestones, with larger sparkling stones at the centre.
• Size: approx. 6–7 cm
• Old-style pin with C-clasp
• Unsigned
• No missing stones
Condition: good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear. A few stones show slight cloudiness, there is minor wear to the gilt, and there is light patina on the back.
Comes in a black gift box with a velvet insert, so it’s ready to give as a present. Please see the photos, as they form part of the description.
About this piece
This charming spray brooch captures the festive spirit of 1950s costume jewellery design. The delicate gilt-wire armature is shaped like flowering stems tied loosely at the base with an elegant bow, each branch springing upward with graceful natural movement. The stones—a mix of clear and soft mint-green paste rhinestones—are individually claw-set in graduated sizes, with the largest faceted stones clustered at the centre of the composition to catch the light.
The brooch measures approximately 6–7 cm and fastens with a traditional C-clasp pin at the reverse. It shows honest signs of age: the gilt has worn in places, a few stones display the subtle cloudiness typical of vintage paste, and the back carries light patina. No stones are missing. The piece arrives in its original black gift box with velvet lining, making it presentation-ready. A charming example of mid-century Czech rhinestone work, equally at home on a coat collar or displayed on a board.
