This detailed cold enamel brooch is one of a range of a dozen Leaf brooches and earrings designed in the 1960's by Exquisite Jewellery Ltd., of Solihull, Warwickshire, England. All of their designs were registered to prevent other companies copying! This Oak pin features four cupped Acorns along with the leaves in its design. The metal has a silver tone finish to the branches and stems of the leaves and the reverse of the pin where the signature 'Exquisite' can be clearly seen. The cold enamel was hand painted onto the pieces which is why the colourways vary such a lot. This one has light brown acorns in their green cups and variegated green/brown leaves with the middle of each leaf having a very autumnal brown. It is in good vintage order with a secure roll over type c clasp fastening. This vintage brooch measures approximately 2 inches by 1.5 inches. It is the smaller sized version of the Acorn and leaves pin. It is very wearable and would be just the thing for your vintage costume jewelry collection!
