Description

An antique brooch by the Ancienne brand, visible in the photo, with a distinctive geometric design. The piece features an elongated diamond structure with accentuated points, typical of Art Deco motifs. The visible side displays a patinated metallic finish, adorned with molded decorative reliefs and floral details in relief around the central stone. The overall effect evokes an elegant and sophisticated aesthetic, true to costume jewelry from the 1920s-1930s.

At the center, a faceted oval-shaped stone, brilliant black in color, immediately draws the eye. Two other stone-imitating elements, teardrop-shaped, are positioned at each end, highlighting the brooch's symmetry. These black cabochons, likely made of glass or enameled resin (according to keywords), offer a strong contrast with the aged gold-toned background.

The brooch's surface features raised ornaments, including pearl motifs and small volutes, adding relief and character to the piece. The glossy black enamel used for the cabochons accentuates the elegance of the piece and recalls Art Deco-inspired creations. No logo or signature is visible on this side.

The overall condition shows visible patination, with some traces of oxidation and micro-scratches on the gilded surface, typical of an authentic antique jewel. The black cabochons appear well-secured and without visible chips on the photographed side.

This hair or decorative brooch, with its elongated shape and motifs, can be suitable for enhancing a sophisticated hairstyle as well as adorning a vintage garment.

Did you know? The Art Deco style, very popular in the 1920s-1930s, is characterized by its geometric shapes, symmetrical lines, and the use of contrasting materials such as enamel and gilded metal. Brooches from this era were often designed to be worn on both clothing and hair, accompanying the structured hairstyles of the early 20th century.
