Vintage Black Glass Heart Brooch with Gold-Tone Cherubs

This piece is a vintage costume jewelry brooch featuring a large, high-domed cabochon heart made of deep black glass or polished resin. The heart measures approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in width. At the bottom point of the heart is an ornate, gold-tone metal embellishment depicting two winged cherubs or angels facing inward. The metalwork displays textured feathering on the wings and includes a single small clear rhinestone or paste stone set at the base where the figures meet. The construction utilizes a glue-on mounting for the decorative metal element onto the smooth surface of the heart. The style is reminiscent of romantic revival jewelry from the late 20th century, likely dating to the 1980s or 1990s. The glass surface shows a high-gloss finish with minor surface abrasions and dust accumulation consistent with age and previous wear. No prominent maker's marks are visible from the front view, but the craftsmanship suggests a mid-range costume jewelry production. The gold-tone finish on the cherubs shows slight darkening or patina in the recessed areas, which enhances the sculptural detail of the casting.
