Vintage golden swordfish brooch with blue rhinestones, retro costume jewelry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Brooch representing a stylized swordfish, typical of vintage costume jewelry. The piece has a dynamic, curved shape, evoking the fish's leap, with carefully rendered relief work, particularly on the dorsal fin and tail.

The surface has a shiny gold appearance, with no explicit material indicated in the keywords. The entire visible back and sides are adorned with a smooth finish, while the top of the body is decorated with round blue rhinestones, perfectly aligned to suggest the sparkle of scales. A darker blue rhinestone forms the fish's eye, adding contrast to the whole.

The brooch plays on shades of gold and blue, giving an impression of marine freshness and retro refinement. The metalwork (or metallic-looking surface) highlights the anatomical details of the fish, including the long jaw, pointed dorsal fin, and finely curved tail.

The clasp is not visible in the photo; only the front is shown, allowing the decorative quality and surface condition to be appreciated. The item shows no deep scratches or visible chips on the front, and the rhinestones appear complete and well-secured.

This pre-owned piece of jewelry fits into the retro aesthetic, with a marine inspiration frequent in costume jewelry creations of past decades. The colorful rhinestones and animal motif are characteristic of vintage style brooches.

Condition: Pre-owned item, sold as is. Front in good visual condition, rhinestones present and sparkling, no major apparent defects on the visible side.

Did you know? The swordfish is a popular motif in costume jewelry since the mid-20th century, symbolizing strength and marine elegance. Animal brooches adorned with rhinestones saw a particular boom in the 1950s-1970s thanks to the rise of costume jewelry, often produced in limited series for major houses like Trifari or Coro.
