Vintage gold-plated spiral motif pearl brooch, elegant retro jewelry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Antique brooch with a spiral design, visible in the photograph, presented on a burgundy case. The object has an elongated and undulating shape, evoking a twist or a stylized arabesque, typical of certain costume jewelry from past decades. The upper part of the brooch features an openwork fan motif, enhanced in its center by a round pearl with a pearly appearance, which provides an elegant contrast to the overall brilliant gold finish.

The surface shows a luminous gold finish, in line with the "gold plated" mention in the keywords. The play of light reveals carefully crafted reliefs, highlighting the zigzag structure of the stem. No logo or signature is visible on the exposed side.

The embossed pearl, placed in the center of the fan motif, catches the light and accentuates the sophisticated look of the brooch. The entire piece of jewelry has a strong retro look, reminiscent of creations from the second half of the 20th century, although the absence of a brand or specific date calls for caution regarding the exact period.

The brooch is photographed on a burgundy velvet background, which highlights its golden reflections and smooth finish. No chips, missing parts, or major defects are observable on the visible side; the gilding appears homogeneous, without noticeable tarnishing.

This vintage piece of jewelry, thanks to its twisted shape and the combination of gilding/pearl, stands out for its retro-chic style. It will be perfect for enhancing an elegant outfit or for adding a sophisticated touch to everyday wear.

Condition

Second-hand item sold as is. The visible side is in very good apparent condition, with no major defects observable in the photo.
