AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
Vintage style costume brooch, presented here in a decorative case. This brooch has a round, domed shape, centered by a large cabochon with a pearly appearance, evoking the look of a pearl. The cabochon is highlighted by a twisted surround with a gilded finish, creating an elegant and luminous braided effect. The ensemble displays a marked contrast between the golden brilliance of the mounting and the satiny softness of the central cabochon.
The gilded mounting, with a polished and lustrous appearance, features a regular and sculpted pattern, typical of costume creations inspired by the 80s. The lower part of the brooch forms a slight point, adding a graphic touch to the ensemble. The visible surface reveals no apparent marks, engravings, or signatures on the front.
The object stands out for its sophisticated look, ideal for accessorizing a dressed-up outfit. The golden finish and the pearly appearance of the cabochon recall the codes of costume jewelry from the late 20th century, often prized for its volume and sparkle.
The brooch is photographed on a white fabric cushion, which highlights the brilliance of the gilded metal and the subtle reflection of the cabochon. No major defects, chips, or traces of oxidation are visible on the exposed side; the gilding appears homogeneous and well-preserved.
This vintage costume jewel will be suitable for daily wear or a special occasion, especially on a jacket, coat, or textile accessory. Its design evokes the chic and timeless style, characteristic of retro accessories from the 80s-90s.
Condition
Used item sold as is. Visible side in good general condition, with no apparent defects on the mounting or the pearly cabochon.
