Unexpected Blooming

The cheerfulness of this vintage 1940s brooch is not to be underestimated; the unexpected beauty and joy that came from discovering the blossoms are dimensional with sweet, overlapping petals and their hand-painted enamel finishes in happy stripes just brings such an easy smile. Add a trio of faceted black-and-white patterned fire agate beads to the arrangement, and we're positively giddy! A blooming bouquet tied with a bow, and a vibrant pattern beneath it? So much fun! An embossed and gilt copper box clasp completes the look at back. Measures 17.5" in length.
