Openwork Silver Leaf Rectangular Clasp Brooch / Knitwear Clasp / Shirt Clasp / American Vintage Jewelry

When collecting antique jewelry in the past, besides cameo portraits and celluloid pieces, my absolute favorites were these types of brooches. I occasionally saw them in old films, adorning the knit cardigans of female characters, which I found particularly charming and unique, leading me to start collecting them. Vintage brooches are quite rare to find now, and those in excellent condition are even scarcer. This batch has been acquired over some time, and their prices reflect their rarity. They will be gradually released. This particular brooch has a wonderful quality but is a pre-owned item, so please do not compare it to new items or apply exacting standards.🙏🏻 ⚜️ Circa 1950s-1960s ⚜️ Features a patent number ⚜️ The metal on the back shows oxidation and discoloration (Figures 6-8), while the front and chain appear to be in good condition. Please examine the photos closely. ⚜️ Alloy ⚜️ Brooch measures approx. 1.5*3cm, chain length approx. 14.5cm 👀 Please be aware that measurements are taken with a tape measure and may have slight variations, which is normal. As jewelry pieces are not perfectly geometric, the dimensions provided represent the longest and widest points. 🖤 This listing is for one brooch only; other items shown in photos are for display purposes. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51958872872_eafb2a3ba6_b.jpg **Important Notes Before Purchase:** 💚 Please message us if you have any questions before buying. 💚 For jewelry from the 1940s-1980s, it's nearly impossible to find pieces without some degree of fading, discoloration, or minor rust spots and imperfections. We trust you understand this characteristic of vintage items. 💚 We endeavor to present the items clearly through photographs on the listing page, and we kindly ask you to inspect the images and descriptions carefully. 💚 Vintage jewelry inherently carries the patina of age and will show signs of wear consistent with its history. 💚 The jewelry in this shop will not be modified (e.g., clip-on earrings will not be converted to posts). 💚 We urge those new to "Vintage Jewelry" to reconsider carefully before purchasing if you have never experienced it before. 💚 If an item arrives damaged to the point of being unwearable, a refund can be issued. However, returns or refunds will not be accepted for reasons such as the item not matching your imagination, discrepancies in size or color, or damage not incurred during transit. ____________________________________ These brooches look wonderful clipped onto jackets, vests, or blouses. They are also a stylish accessory for men. The photo below shows Emma Pillsbury in character. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51066586707_a22a4b8edf_o.jpg
