Circular Brooch Appraisal

Gold-Tone Circular Brooch

The item is a round, flat brooch with a highly polished, reflective gold-tone finish. It is minimalist in design, featuring a simple circular shape with a central circular cut-out, creating a uniform band. Its dimensions appear to be consistent, suggesting a well-formed piece. Visible on the reverse side of the brooch, or at least from the perspective of the image, is a straight pin mechanism for attachment, indicating its function as a brooch or pin. The main body of the brooch exhibits some minor surface wear and possibly some light tarnishing or discoloration, evident as darker spots or smudges, particularly towards the upper left quadrant of the ring. However, the overall reflective quality suggests the metal is still relatively well-maintained. The construction appears sturdy, with clean edges and a smooth surface. There are no readily visible maker's marks, signatures, or stamps in the provided image. Given its simple, geometric form, this piece likely dates from the mid-20th century to contemporary times, possibly aligning with modernist or minimalist design trends. The quality of craftsmanship appears to be good, with a precisely cut form and a functional pin mechanism. The brooch is displayed resting on a pale green, possibly velvet or velour, quilted surface, which appears to be part of a jewelry box or pouch, subtly labeled 'N KALLER' or 'N WALLER' inside.
