Circa 1950-60s

This incredible brooch has been around for nearly 60 years, and it shows in its stunning design. The clear Austria crystals are set against a Russian gold filigree backing, giving it an incredibly luxurious look. But this brooch isn't just a pretty face - it also has a fascinating history. It was once owned by Audrey Smaltz, the famed Ebony Fashion Show commentator. So if you're looking for a piece of jewelry that's not only beautiful but also has a story to tell, this is the perfect piece for you!
