Designer markings and hallmarks

There are no maker markings on this beautiful piece of jewellery. It is unsigned.

Condition

All the rhinestones are in perfect condition and shine brilliantly. The stones are all claw set, with four claws on each. This is such a unique piece and is really a statement piece that will shine brightly when you wear it.

It was made in the 1950s and there is no tarnishing on the gold tone metal. As it is such a great vintage piece and in such great condition, it will last just as long with similar good care. And you definitely won't see anyone else wearing the same item. Enjoy a pre-loved item that no-one else will own and bring less waste to the planet.

Paste jewellery

The crystals are all faceted with a flat top and a multitude of side facets, which means they will shine brightly and catch the light spectacularly.

The stones on this brooch are made from crystals, which is the reason they shine so brightly. They are also foiled at the back in a technique known as "paste", which also adds to the lustre and shine of the crystals. Paste was common in jewellery up to mid last century, with paste being used on precious stones such as diamonds as well.
