AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Elegant antique brooch in the shape of a stylized leaf, made of silver-plated metal, adorned with golden rhinestones and a round pearl at its tip. The openwork design highlights three large curved segments, finely punctuated with rhinestones set in a continuous and regular line. The ensemble evokes a refined vegetal aesthetic, typical of retro or 50s-60s costume jewelry, with a beautiful harmony between the dark patinated metal and the brilliance of the stones.

The brooch features a careful finish, with a beautiful contrast between the slightly aged metallic appearance and the light of the rhinestones. The pearl, placed at the end of the leaf, adds an extra touch of delicacy to the ensemble. The visible structure reveals precise work on the details, particularly on the edges and contours of each segment.

The mounting appears robust, each rhinestone being well set in its bezel. The object is photographed in a carved wooden box, highlighting its antique character and its purpose as a refined piece of jewelry. No hallmarks or marks are visible on the displayed side.

The brooch displays a distinctly vintage style, reminiscent of mid-20th century costume creations, while remaining timeless with its natural motif and balanced composition.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible ensemble is in good overall condition: some traces of wear and a slight patina of the silver-plated metal contribute to its period charm.
