Vintage Faux Turquoise & Amber Rhinestone Circle Brooch | Domed Gold-Tone Rope Twist | Etruscan Revival Style | 1970s Statement Pin | 1 3/4"

A little bit of ancient treasure, minus the archaeological dig.

This vintage gold-tone metal and glass circle brooch is a domed open ring covered in rows of rope-twist texture, like coiled gold cord. Five oval faux turquoise cabochons sit in twisted-rope bezels around it, sprinkled with little amber and clear rhinestones and tiny gold beads. The look is Etruscan revival, a style that borrowed from ancient goldwork and was a favorite in 1970s costume jewelry, and the robin's-egg blue against warm gold is a classic combination.

Condition

Very good vintage condition. The gold-tone finish is bright, and the turquoise cabochons and rhinestones are all present (please see photos). The pin opens and closes as it should. As with everything in the shop, it's a used piece and may show light signs of wear.

Only one available. Once it's gone, it's gone.
