Vintage Rapallo Gold-Tone Flower Brooch with Cultured Pearl – Original Velvet Box (1960s–1970s)

Timeless elegance meets mid-century craftsmanship in this exquisite Rapallo brooch, created by B.B. Greenberg Co. of Cranston, Rhode Island. Renowned for their fine-quality materials and intricate detailing, Rapallo designs remain sought after among collectors for their understated sophistication and superb construction.

This brooch captures the essence of classic refinement — a layered, sculptural gold-tone flower with finely textured petals radiating around a luminous 5.35 mm cultured pearl center. Measuring approximately 1.5 inches in diameter, it carries a pleasing weight and a graceful dimensional profile. The secure rollover clasp and pin stop complete the design with the meticulous precision characteristic of mid-century American jewelry.

Beautifully preserved in its original rust-colored velvet presentation box, complete with the branded hang tag, this piece stands as both a collector’s treasure and a wearable work of art.
