Oak Leaf Brooch signed 'Exquisite -1960's - Leaves and Acorns Pin (SOLD)
This lovely cold enamel brooch is one of a range of a dozen Leaf brooches and earrings designed in the 1960's by Exquisite Jewellery Ltd., of Solihull, Warwickshire, England. All of their designs were registered to prevent other companies copying! This Oak pin features four cupped Acorns along with the leaves in its design. The metal has a gold tone finish to the branches and stems of the leaves and the reverse of the pin where the signature 'Exquisite' can be clearly seen. The cold enamel was hand painted onto the pieces which is why the colourways vary such a lot. This one has brown acorns in their green cups and variegated green/brown leaves with gold tone around the edges. It is in good vintage order, just a speck of paint loss on the most prominent acorn. The brooch fastens with a secure roll over type c clasp fastening. This vintage brooch measures approximately 3inches by 2.5 inches. It is very wearable and would be just the thing for your vintage costume jewelry collection!
