Blue Topaz, Ruby, Diamanté & Vermeil Flower Brooch

This flower brooch designed by Adolph Katz is a stunning example of the Retro Modern style and the pieces created for Coro’s high-end line in the 1940s. The gold-plated sterling silver center looks like folds of a fabric with pavé-trimming at each end. The same trim is wound around the center. From there emanate two boughs of faceted, oval blue-topaz-glass flowers with round ruby-glass accents. The blue stones have foil backs to intensify their color. The pin closes with a fold-over safety clasp. Gorgeous colors and amazing condition. This delicious jewel was advertised in the February 1, 1946 issue of Vogue.
