Vintage Pearl Circle Brooch
This is a vintage circular wreath-style brooch, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, featuring a continuous row of 16 creamy white pearls. The pearls exhibit a soft, lustrous sheen with slight variations in surface texture, suggesting they may be cultured or high-quality glass simulations, common in mid-20th-century costume or fine jewelry. Each pearl is individually held within a yellow gold-toned metal setting, secured by delicate double prongs (four prongs per stone). The metal construction appears consistent with gold-filling or polished brass, showing a warm yellow hue. A horizontal pin bar with a classic hinge and safety C-clasp is visible behind the open-center frame. The craftsmanship is orderly and symmetrical, typical of the classicist revival styles popular in the 1950s and 60s. Overall condition appears good; however, there is a visible dark patina or tarnish where the prongs meet the pearls, and one pearl (located around the 10 o'clock position) shows slight surface abrasions. No maker’s marks are visible in the primary image, but the construction style is indicative of high-quality mid-century accessory production.
