Magnificent vintage brooch from 1965, typical of the baroque/colorful revival that preceded the more minimalist fashion of the 70s: it's a "statement brooch" that catches the eye, captures the light, and gives character to any outfit, even the simplest.

✨ Probable era
This piece clearly evokes the 1960s, and more precisely the second half of the decade:
✅ The design is more geometric and structured than 1950s jewelry.
✅ Large, colorful glass cabochons (gemstone-like) became very fashionable at this time, worn on suits or plain dresses.
✅ The one-piece molded metal reverse, with its brick/mosaic texture pattern, is characteristic of certain American and European manufacturers of the Sixties.
✅ "Statement" costume jewelry truly took hold around 1965.
🔍 Manufacture
