1950s Multi Precious Stones Rose Gold Tutti Frutti Bouquet Brooch
Located in Poitiers, FR
Brooch in 14 karat rose gold, shell hallmark and platinum.
A sublime retro brooch inspired by the work of great jewelers and the Indian inspiration found in Tutti Frutti jewelry from the 1930s. It represents a chiselled, openwork basket holding a bouquet of flowers and branches. Set with a multitude of gemstones and diamonds. We find green tourmalines, sapphires, pink and orange garnets, rubies, diamonds of various sizes, citrines and even a natural yellow zircon in the center. The clasp is a safety pin..
Height : 4,5 cm approximately, width : 5 cm approximately, thickness : 6 mm approximately.
Total weight of the jewel : 16,5 g approximately.
Authentic antique jewel - American work from the 1950s.
Our opinion : This antique gemstone brooch bears witness to a time when the fast pace of evening events and outfits called for jewelry to match the occasion.
The history of this jewel : Unfortunately unsigned, this Tutti Frutti brooch was undoubtedly made by a talented American workshop in the 1950s. Its former owner, a former vice-president of a major international bank in 1950s New York, liked to wear this jewel at her social events, and connoisseurs will recognize the Tutti Frutti Cartier...

Vintage Brooches for Sale: Shop Fabergé Brooches, Chanel Brooches, Cartier Brooches and Other Brooches on 1stDibs
Vintage brooches, which refer to decorative jewelry traditionally pinned to garments and used to fasten pieces of clothing together where needed, have seen increasing popularity in recent years.
While jewelry trends come and go, brooches are indeed back on the radar thanks to fashion houses like Gucci, Versace, Dior and Saint Laurent, all of which feature fun pinnable designs in their current collections. Whether a dazzlingly naturalistic Art Nouveau dragonfly, a whimsical David Webb animal, a gem-studded bloom or a streamlined abstract design, these jewels add color and sparkle to your look and a spring to your step.
Given their long history, brooches have expectedly taken on a variety of different shapes and forms over time, with jewelers turning to assorted methods of ornamentation for these accessories, including enameling and the integration of pearls and gemstones.
Cameo brooches that originated during the Victorian age are characterized by a shell carved in raised relief that feature portraits of a woman’s profile, while 19th-century micromosaic brooches, comprising innumerable individually placed glass fragments, sometimes feature miniature depictions of a pastoral scene in daily Roman life.
At one time, brooches were symbols of wealth, made primarily from the finest metals and showcasing exquisite precious gemstones. Today, these jewels are inclusive and universal, and you don’t have to travel very far to find an admirer of brooches. They can be richly geometric in form, such as the ornate diamond pins dating from the Art Deco era, or designer-specific, such as the celebrated naturalistic works created by Tiffany Co., the milk glass and gold confections crafted by Trifari or handmade vintage Chanel brooches of silk or laminated sheer fabric. Chanel, of course, has never abandoned this style, producing gorgeously baroque CC examples since the 1980s.
Brooches are versatile and adaptable. These decorative accessories can be worn in your hair, on hats, scarves and on the lower point of V-neck clothing. Pin a dazzling brooch to the lapel of your blazer-and-tee combo or add a cluster of smaller pins to your overcoat. And while brooches have their place in “mourning jewelry,” in that a mourning brooch is representative of your connection to a lost loved one, they’re widely seen as romantic and symbolic of love, so much so that a hardcore brooch enthusiast might advocate for brooches to be worn over the heart.
Today, find a wide variety of antique and vintage brooches for sale on 1stDibs, including gold brooches, sapphire brooches and more.
