Groovy 1960's Floral Pin in Bright Orange with Black and White (Sold)

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!
