A striking example of mid-century design, this sculptural floral brooch showcases the bold elegance that defined vintage gold-tone jewelry of the 1950s–1960s. Designed to be noticed, its dimensional form and richly colored glass cabochons reflect an era when costume jewelry was crafted with intention, weight, and lasting beauty.
This vintage floral brooch features six smooth, domed red glass cabochons arranged in a dramatic flower motif, anchored by a raised central cabochon framed with delicate openwork filigree. The gold-tone setting offers warmth and depth, complementing the saturated red glass beautifully. Substantial in hand and thoughtfully constructed, this piece exemplifies the quality and visual impact of mid-century jewelry design.
Unsigned, yet unmistakably well made, this brooch wears as both a statement accessory and a collector’s piece.
