AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

A vintage-style costume brooch with a pronounced oval shape, as shown in the photo. The object features a highly polished gold-finished setting with warm reflections and a slightly irregular texture typical of antique costume jewelry. At the center, a domed cabochon with a mother-of-pearl or pearly appearance, set in an oval bezel, adds a sophisticated touch to the whole. The play of light highlights the depth and brilliance of the piece, evoking retro creations from the 60s to the 80s.

The brooch stands out for its simple and elegant design, playing on the contrast between the gilding of the setting and the satiny softness of the central cabochon. The contours are sharp, the outer edge displays a slight molding, accentuating the antique jewelry aspect. No figurative motifs or signatures are visible on the presented side.

This costume jewel is typical of women's fashion accessories that have spanned decades, easy to pair with a classic or vintage outfit. The object is photographed on a white fabric, highlighting the relief and brilliance of the brooch. The whole evokes timeless elegance, true to the spirit of retro jewelry with large cabochons.

Did you know? The style of brooches with a central cabochon was particularly in vogue in the 1960-1980s, worn on coats as well as on hats or scarves. These costume jewels often used materials imitating mother-of-pearl or stone, combined with gold settings for a luxurious effect at a lower cost.
