The Details...
This brooch is constructed from rhodium plated metal. It features a flower motif and is accented with small, round and baguette cut colourless rhinestones. It is also detailed at the centre with faux pearls. The brooch fastens with a traditional safety catch and the fastening pin is attached to the brooch with a round hinge. The brooch is signed - it is stamped 'JOMAZ' on the reverse and also features the letter 'K', which most likely refers to the stone setter that worked on the piece. The brooch measures 5cm x 4.5cm.

A Short History...
This brooch is the epitome of mid-century glamour. It represents the influence of nature upon fifties jewellery. Indeed, couturiers, such as Dior and Balenciaga, were heavily influenced by floral motifs and it is no surprise that other jewellery manufacturers were producing pieces that echoed Parisian trends.
Wear it With...
Depicting all the floral romance of the 1950s, this brooch would look breathtaking pinned to the waist of a full-skirted bridal gown.
The jewellery within the Gemma Redmond Vintage collection has survived to this day because it has been well cared for throughout its lifetime. It is important to continue to care for the jewellery that you buy from us to ensure its continued preservation. Here are some suggestions:
- Be sure to store your jewellery within the boxes that we provide to ensure that it is protected. This is especially important when travelling with your pieces.
- Try not to get perfume or hairspray on your items. These liquids can damage the materials that our jewellery is made from.
- Try not to drop your jewellery or catch your jewellery against hard surfaces. If this happens over time, the findings and fixings can loosen and wear.
- Try not to get your jewellery wet. Some costume jewellery manufacturers utilised water soluble glue in the making of their pieces. Getting your jewellery wet could cause rhinestones and other details to fall away over time.
- If you wish to clean your jewellery, use a soft polishing cloth or a soft brush.
This elegant brooch was created in the 1930s.

This delightful figural brooch was created in c.1920 by the German high quality costume jewellery maker, Knoll and Pregizer.
Condition Report:
Good - The 'C' catch and fastening pin are most likely a later replacement to the piece. However, they work well and are in-keeping with the design. There is a tiny element of enamel loss to the tip of one wing. This is only visible upon close inspection and does not detract from the appeal of the piece.
