Authentic old jewelry - French work from the 1940s-1950s.
Our opinion: An old brooch of very good quality and with an original theme. The history of this jewel: This brooch was custom made in the 1940s by its former owner who was a painter. The latter designed this jewel, chose each of the stones which adorned it and had to save many months, due to lack of means, before being able to pay the craftsman who created this magnificent jewel. This vintage brooch was then passed on to his daughter during her inheritance.
