Vintage 1960's Flower Brooch in Black and Purple

This is a Groovy, stylish  metal, cold enamelled Flower Pin.  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 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 an American Warehouse until now.  You have the advantage of a true vintage item that is in New order. The  cold enamel finish is bright and strong with three layers of  petals.  The first layer is a pleasing Purple  colour and has been dot punched, layer two consists of natural looking petals in Black; Layer three has small daisy effect purple petals around a Black domed button to the very centre. The contrasts between these colours and the different types of petals is most striking. It is very Mod in design and has a true touch of the 'Mary Quant' about it! The  flower brooch is a good size being 3 inches in diameter!  It is finished in sprayed purple on white 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 coat or jacket lapel.
