Enamel Dancer Brooch with Faux Gemstones

This item is an enamel and metal brooch depicting a stylized female dancer figure. The brooch features a gold-toned metal base, likely a base metal alloy, which forms the outline of the figure. The dancer is depicted in a pose suggesting movement, with one arm raised holding a circular object, possibly a mirror, and her skirt flared. The primary color scheme is light green enamel, which covers the dancer's dress, including the sleeves and the voluminous skirt. The enamel shows some variations in tone, with lighter areas and darker specks, suggesting some wear or possibly intentional texturing. The figure's head area features a prominent light blue, possibly turquoise, faux gemstone, likely a rhinestone, and smaller white pearl-like beads, indicating a decorative element like a headdress or hair ornament. The circular object held in her hand features a larger clear, faceted faux gemstone, also likely a rhinestone, set within a gold-toned frame. The dancer's legs are formed by two slender gold-toned metal segments, extending downward. Several small areas of wear are visible in the enamel, particularly on the skirt and near the top of the dress, where the gold-toned metal underneath is exposed. The overall condition appears to be good for its age, with minor surface abrasions consistent with use. Based on the style of enameling, the use of faux gemstones, and the gold-toned base metal, this brooch likely dates from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1950s or 1960s. The craftsmanship is typical of costume jewelry from that era, focused on decorative appeal rather than precious materials.
