Wow! This Groovy Flower Power Brooch is almost Fluorescent and it one that WILL be seen! It was made in Providence, Rhode Island, USA - an area which has been at the centre of the US jewelry trade since the earliest days of Antique and Vintage Costume Jewellery manufacturing. This is a great example of a 'New Old Stock' piece as it was made in the Swinging Sixties and has lain in a Warehouse until now. The flower brooch is metal with a cold enamel finish. It is so bright and strong with four layers of petals surrounding a central Orange dome. The first layer has dot punched round ended petals, on top of these is a layer of pointed black petals. The final petal layer looks a bit like a Cupped Daisy flower in white enamel with a 'cut out' centre to each petal. The contrasts between the different petal shapes and these colours gives a great effect. This lovely old flower brooch is a good size being a little over 3 inches in diameter! On the reverse it is finished in an orange-on-white spray effect and you can just see the tips of the black petals too. The brooch fastens with a 'v' shaped back pin with a secure roll over type clasp. The position of the pin ensures that this brooch will sit well on your lapel without flopping!
