Antique oval brooch with red stones, retro style – gold-plated – vintage jewelry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique brooch has an oval shape, characterized by a surround of faceted dark red stones, set in prongs. The slightly domed central part features a golden finish with a patinated appearance, with a round red stone set in its center. The whole offers an elegant contrast between the brilliance of the stones and the warm tone of the golden support.

The pattern is symmetrical, composed of seven visible round stones: one central and six arranged peripherally, forming a regular crown around the central cabochon. The holding prongs, also gilded, reinforce the vintage character and the elaborate finish of the piece. The object evokes a retro style, typical of mid-20th century costume jewelry, with no visible brand indication on the presented side.

The brooch is photographed on a white background, next to a graduated ruler that suggests a compact size (no digital dimensions are mentioned, in accordance with the instructions). The gilded surface shows some traces of wear and a homogeneous patina, indicating a certain age. The stones are all present and appear to be in good condition on the visible side, with no apparent chips or cracks.

The setting of the stones, their deep red color and the metalwork on the front side are reminiscent of retro costume jewelry creations, often inspired by Victorian or Art Deco styles, but the absence of strict geometric patterns points more towards a classic retro style.

The reverse side and the fastening system are not visible in the photo, so they are not described here. No markings or signatures appear on the front side. The object is presented alone, without a case or accessory.

Used item, sold as is. Visible patina and wear on the gilded finish, red stones in place and visually intact on the front side.
