Vintage Enameled Silver-Tone Rose Brooch

This item is a vintage costume jewelry brooch depicting a long-stemmed rose bud. The piece is constructed from a silver-toned base metal with a polished finish on the stems and leaf edges. The rose head features a deep crimson or ruby-red translucent enamel with a high-gloss finish that gives the floral bud depth and dimension. Below the bud, two textured leaves are finished in a vibrant moss-green enamel, showcasing a subtle granular or stippled texture beneath the color to simulate natural foliage. The stem is curved and includes modeled thorns, terminating in a realistic cut base. Based on the scale provided by the cutting mat background, the brooch appears to measure approximately 2 to 2.5 inches in length. The construction style, including the application of cold enamel over cast metal, is characteristic of mid-20th-century costume jewelry, likely dating from the 1960s to the 1980s. The overall condition appears excellent with minimal visible wear to the enamel surfaces, although slight tarnish or patina is present on the silver-toned metal parts, particularly along the stem and edges. This aesthetic is typical for manufacturers such as Exquisite or Sarah Coventry, though no specific maker's mark is visible from this angle. The craftsmanship shows attention to botanical detail with serrated leaf edges and a three-dimensional rose petal structure.
