1960's Vintage Floral Pin in Black and Mauve (SOLD)

This is a chic and stylish vintage flower brooch.  The  subtle contrasts between the purple and black gives a real Mod feel to this brooch. It is like a very large Daisy flower with natural looking petals.   It conjures up the times when Mary Quant was queen of fashion and it is a genuine piece of vintage costume jewellery from that era.  However this is not a British piece; this  lovely old metal cold enamelled Flower Power Pin 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 Vintage Costume Jewellery manufacturing. This is a great example of an American 'New Old Stock' piece as it was made in the Swinging Sixties and has lain in a Warehouse until now.  The enamel finish is bright and strong  and this flower brooch is a good size being 3 inches in diameter!  It is finished in purple and black on the reverse.  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!
