Trio of Vintage Costume Jewelry Brooches (Flower, Butterfly, and Dragonfly)

This collection features three distinct vintage costume jewelry brooches arranged on a wooden surface. The top item is a large six-petaled flower brooch, constructed from a silver-toned base metal and Pav set with faceted clear rhinestones. It features a prominent central cabochon-style stone and textured milgrain-like edging on the petals, characteristic of mid-20th-century costume jewelry. Below it is an openwork gold-toned butterfly brooch with a basketweave or lattice texture on the wings and small blue accent stones near the antennae. The third piece is a delicate gold-toned dragonfly brooch accented with multi-colored pastel rhinestones (yellow, blue, and pink) along its wings and body. The construction of the butterfly and dragonfly suggests a late 20th-century aesthetic, likely 1970s-1990s. Condition-wise, the gold-toned plating on the butterfly and dragonfly appears largely intact, while the clear rhinestones in the flower brooch show some signs of slight 'greying' or darkening, common with age in foil-backed stones. No visible maker’s marks are discernible from the topside, but the level of detail suggests mass-produced yet quality commercial costume jewelry from brands common in department stores of the era.
