Art Deco Sterling Sterling Silver Bar Brooch Paste Stones 3” Vintage Pin

The brooch is set with exceptionally brilliant vintage clear stones that display remarkable sparkle and a refined, diamond like appearance. Their crisp brilliance is far superior to that of many modern rhinestones and gives this piece the elegant look of fine period jewelry. The geometric openwork design is characteristic of the Art Deco era and features an interlaced central motif that was used as a decorative good luck symbol long before its later political association. The design is an interlaced good luck symbol (manji), a motif that appeared in Western Art Deco design well before World War II. It has ancient origins in many cultures and was widely used as a decorative geometric element during the 1920s and 1930s. * Tested sterling silver * Traces of original gold vermeil * Approximately 3 inches long * Early tube hinge and C-catch closure * All stones present * Vintage condition with age appropriate wear to the vermeil 630SF-6835
