As jewelry pieces are rarely perfectly square, the dimensions provided represent the longest and widest points. 🖤 This listing is for one brooch only; other items shown in photos are for illustrative purposes. 💎 Regarding Rhinestones (Austrian Crystals): Over time, it's common for rhinestones to develop a slight haziness, dullness, or for the metal backing to tarnish. This can sometimes make the stones appear to have dark spots or look less than pristine. These conditions are unavoidable with vintage pieces, even from high-end brands. If these aspects are a concern for you, we recommend reconsidering vintage jewelry with stones. **Please Note Before Purchasing:** 💚 If you have any questions, please send us a message before buying. 💚 For jewelry from the 1940s-1980s, it is almost inevitable that there will be some degree of metal discoloration, fading, or minor rust spots and imperfections. Please understand this common characteristic of vintage pieces. 💚 We strive to present items clearly in photos. We kindly ask you to examine the images and descriptions carefully. 💚 Vintage jewelry inherently carries the marks of time and age, and will show signs of wear. 💚 The styles of jewelry in our shop will not be altered; for example, clip-on earrings will not be converted to pierced earrings. 💚 For those new to "Vintage Jewelry," we encourage you to think carefully before purchasing. 💚 If an item arrives damaged and is unwearable, a refund can be issued. However, returns or refunds for reasons such as "not as imagined," size discrepancies, color variations, or damage not incurred during shipping, will not be accepted. ___________________________________________ **About the Brand:** Florenza Jewelry Manufacturing Company was a significant player in New York from 1948 to 1981.
