SOLD Signed Exquisite Vine Leaf Brooch in Autumn Colours - 1960s Enamel Brooches

There is something really appealing about  signed Exquisite brooches.  The vintage jewellery produced under the Exquisite name is now very  collectable and it also great fun to wear. This lovely 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.   Exquisite was a brand belonging to the manufacturer W.A.P.Watson.   The Vine Leaf boch is Design No: 914746 in the range. All of the Exqusite designs were registered to prevent other companies copying! This vintage vine leaf brooch features a bold veined leaf with nice Autumn colouring - the outer edges to the leaf are golden yellow and the middle area is brown. There is a little twig with the vine leaf curling its tendrils round it too.  The metal has a  goldtone finish and on 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 a variegated colourway with the middle of the leaf having a very autumnal brown look with the yellow and  gold tone around the edges. It is in good vintage order with a secure roll over type c clasp fastening. This vintage brooch measures approximately 3inches by 2.5 inches. It is very wearable and would be just the thing for your vintage costume jewelry collection!
