Vintage golden owl brooch with rhinestones, retro costume jewelry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

A vintage-style owl brooch, crafted with a brilliant gold finish. The piece features finely engraved texture on its plumage, accentuating the animal's relief and realism. The owl's head is topped with two large, stylized eyebrows, typical of retro costume jewelry iconography.

The eyes are made of pavé-set clear rhinestones, adding a touch of sparkle and brilliance to the overall design. The contrast between the gilded areas and the rhinestones gives the brooch a striking and elegant visual effect. The owl's beak and feet are sculpted in the same gold finish, with visible attention to detail in their contours and shape.

The brooch has a compact, rounded shape, ideal for easy attachment to clothing or a textile accessory. The overall design evokes the style of costume jewelry from past decades, with a retro influence marked by the choice of animal motif and the use of rhinestones.

The golden reflections visible across the entire surface highlight the relief of the plumage and emphasize the molding work. No markings or signature are visible on the front of the brooch. The item is photographed against a neutral background, without accessories or elements for size comparison.

The owl brooch is typical of the fashion accessories that were popular in the second half of the 20th century, notably due to the combination of gilded metal and rhinestones, reminiscent of creations from the 60s to the 80s.

Condition

Did you know? The owl or owlet motif has been a classic in costume jewelry since the 1960s, often associated with the symbolism of wisdom and protection. Animal brooches were very successful in retro fashion, particularly due to their ability to personalize an outfit with originality.
