Vintage retro gold-plated flower brooch with black and white pearls, antique costume jewelry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
Antique costume brooch, in the shape of a multi-petaled flower, visible on the front. The setting has a gilded finish with a slightly patinated appearance, evoking vintage or retro costume jewelry. In the center, a round ivory-colored pearl dominates the composition, surrounded by two successive rings of set elements: the first alternating white pearls and faceted black cabochons, the second composed of black cabochons, white pearls, and a few anthracite gray metallic-looking elements.

The floral structure is emphasized by the symmetrical arrangement of the stones and cabochons, each element held in a gilded claw setting. The whole creates a three-dimensional effect, typical of costume brooches from the mid-20th century, with a marked contrast between the dark shades, the ivory tones, and the gilded setting.

The brooch is photographed face-on, placed on a white background, which highlights the brilliance of the cabochons and the smooth texture of the pearls. No clasp is visible in this view; the back of the brooch is not shown.

The black and white stones offer a subtle play of light, while the central pearl adds a touch of classic elegance. The gilded claw settings are clearly visible and appear to be in good condition on the front, with no apparent missing elements.

The overall style of this brooch is reminiscent of costume creations from the 1950s to 1970s, favoring stylized floral motifs and materials alternating between brilliance and matte finishes.

Condition
Second-hand jewelry, sold as is. Visible patina of use on the gilded setting and some discreet marks on the central pearl. The whole has an authentic vintage appearance, with no apparent major flaws on the front.
