Vintage Retro Modern Brooch with Ruby and Pink Cadmium Glass Stones – 1940s–50s

This stunning vintage brooch from the Retro Modern era makes a sculptural statement in gleaming gold tone with bold lines and eye-catching contrast. It features two large prong-set glass stones—one a deep ruby red with an intense orange-red glow under black light (a sign of early cadmium glass), and the other a lighter pink tone that adds a soft vintage flair without fluorescing. The design is pure mid-century drama, with three sweeping arcs that fan outward and a wrapped metal detail that brings depth and movement. Measuring 3” long and 1.5” wide, it’s a true standout on a lapel, dress, or hat. This piece is in very good vintage condition with minor wear to the metal finish and a secure pin mechanism. A fabulous find for collectors of Retro jewelry, vintage glass stones, and atomic-era accessories.
