Huge 1960's Floral Pin in Yellow, Black and White (Sold)

This is a lovely old metal, cold enamelled Flower Pin.  It was made in Providence, Rhode Island, USA - an area which has been at the centre of the US jewelry trade since the earliest days of  Antique and Vintage Costume Jewellery manufacturing. This is a great example of a 'New Old Stock' piece as it was made in the Swinging Sixties and has lain in a Warehouse until now.  The enamel finish is bright and strong with four layers of  petals surrounding a central yellow dome.   The flower has a cupped effect and the middle looks like a cheerful daisy! The first  layer is made up of yellow dot punched pointed petals, on top of these is a layer of black petals which alternate and the final petal layer is in white enamel with a 'cut out' centre to each petal. The contrasts between these colours gives a great effect. The  flower brooch is a good size being 3 inches in diameter!  It is finished in  yellow and black on the reverse. In Excellent conditon, this brooch fastens with a 'v' shaped back pin with a secure roll over type clasp.  The position of the pin ensures that this brooch will sit well on your lapel without flopping!
