Vintage Iridescent "Oil Slick" Floral Statement Brooch — 37.0g.

£65.00

A spectacular and large-scale floral brooch that captures a full spectrum of color. This sculptural piece features layered metallic petals treated with a stunning iridescent finish, reflecting shades of deep violet, electric blue, and golden copper. Measuring a bold 4 inches in length, this brooch serves as a dramatic centerpiece for a lapel or an evening wrap, blending vintage botanical charm with a modern, avant-garde color palette.

Design Opinion

The brooch is designed as a stylized blooming flower with textured leaves. The central "pistil" is set with a brilliant Aurora Borealis (AB) crystal that shifts color as it catches the light, perfectly echoing the rainbow-like patina of the metallic petals. This "oil slick" effect was highly popular in mid-century boutique jewelry and remains a favorite for collectors of bold, iridescent "statement" accessories.
