Horse Chestnut Brooch signed 'Exquisite' - 1960's - Small Size(sold)

 Here we have a charming Horse Chestnut leaf and Conker brooch.  It is finished in cold enamel in Autumn colours with a warm red/ brown leaf edged in green and a brown conker in its green prickly case. This lovely cold enamel brooch is one of a range of  Leaf  brooches designed in the 1960's by Exquisite Jewellery Ltd., of Solihull, Warwickshire, England.  All of their designs were registered to prevent other companies copying!  I have been advised that the company behind the brand, W.A.P. Watson, used designers from Paris to come up with their popular ranges, but I haven't managed to find this fact documented in writing yet!  This cute little pin in one of the smaller sized versions as 'Exqusite' manufactured this jewellery range in two sizes.  This vintage brooch measures approx 4.5cms in length and about 4cms at it's widest point. It fastens with a pin and secure roll-over type clasp and is finished on the reverse with goldtone and the all important Exquisite signature.
