Vintage American 1940s Gold Wash over Sterling Silver Floral Brooch — Large Amethyst-Colored Stone
Period: 1940s, American
Metal: Sterling silver with gold wash
Stone: Large amethyst-colored glass/cabochon (vivid purple tone)
Design: Floral motif with detailed petals and textured setting
Condition: Good vintage condition — gold wash shows areas of light tarnish and wear; surface displays light scratches consistent with age and use; stone intact with no chips or cracks observed
Measurements: Approximately 8.5 cm (length)
Hallmarks: Likely sterling marking on reverse (please ask if you would like close-up photos of marks or the reverse)
A substantial, well-made mid-century brooch showing the quality craftsmanship of American costume jewellery from the 1940s. The large amethyst-colored centre stone sits prominently within a sculpted floral surround; the gold wash over sterling gives the piece a warm, elegant tone while the silver base provides weight and longevity. Wear is consistent with age and adds period character — the piece will suit collectors or as a striking accessory on coat lapels, scarves, or evening wear.
