Emerald Green Rhinestones Appraisal

Vintage Gold Tone Bow and Floral Brooch with Emerald Green and Clear Rhinestones

This is a vintage brooch characterized by a central bow motif flanked by stylized floral or fruit elements and delicate leaf sprays. The primary materials appear to be gold-toned metal, possibly brass or plated alloy, accented with emerald green enamel or molded glass and numerous clear and green rhinestones. The central bow features two prominent loops, each entirely paved with small, round, clear rhinestones, and is cinched at the center with a band of emerald green enamel or glass, detailed with small green rhinestones. Flanking the bow are two large, rounded, possibly fruit-like forms in a polished gold tone, each adorned with a cluster of three small green rhinestones set into a decorative cap. Extending from these central elements are delicate, gold-toned leaf sprays, each leaf shape individually set with clear rhinestones. The overall construction exhibits intricate detailwork, showcasing a level of craftsmanship common in mid-20th-century costume jewelry. The clear rhinestones show good brilliance, suggesting they are either good quality crystal or glass. Some areas of the gold-tone metal may show minor wear consistent with age, or subtle tarnishing, though the overall condition appears good with no apparent missing stones or major damage from the visible angle. The style suggests an era between the 1940s and 1960s, a period known for elaborate and often colorful costume pieces. The combination of green and gold with sparkling rhinestones provides a luxurious and eye-catching aesthetic. No specific maker's marks are discernible from the provided image.
