Double Pearl Chain Vintage Brooch / Knitwear Clasp / American Antique Jewelry

When I first started collecting antique jewelry, besides cameos and celluloid pieces, my absolute favorites were these types of brooches. I stumbled upon them in old films, adorning the knit cardigans of female characters. I found them so unique and captivating, which led me to gradually build my collection. Antique brooches are quite rare nowadays, and those in excellent condition are even fewer. This batch took some time to gather and is priced accordingly. I'll be releasing them gradually. This particular piece has a wonderful quality but is a pre-loved item. Please refrain from comparing it to new items or holding it to exceptionally high standards.🙏🏻 ⚜️ Circa 1960s ⚜️ Features slight discoloration on one clasp (see photo 8) and on the inside of two clasps (see photo 7). The faux pearl chain shows scratches, peeling, and rust spots. Please examine all photos closely. ⚜️ Alloy, faux pearls ⚜️ Clasp length approx. 2.5cm, widest point approx. 2cm, chain length approx. 12.5cm 👀 Please note that accessory measurements are taken with a tape measure, so slight variations are normal.
