Vintage Black & White Layered Floral Brooch – Riveted Construction, Prong-Set Stones

Step into effortless vintage glamour with this striking black-and-white glass layered floral brooch — a bold mid-century statement piece built with exceptional craftsmanship and timeless drama.

This unsigned beauty features a dimensional, multi-tiered construction composed of faceted jet-black glass stones paired with glossy white pear-shaped navettes. Each stone is secured in place with a mix of large and small dog-tooth prongs, adding that unmistakable vintage character collectors seek.

The brooch is formed on a gold-tone metal base with classic riveted construction — not bright gold, not silver, but that perfect softly-aged gold wash that speaks to authentic mid-century quality. The back showcases clean rivets, layered settings, and a sturdy pin mechanism.

A gorgeous monochrome piece that transitions effortlessly from everyday elegance to elevated evening wear.
