Substantial golden rose brooch with highly articulated petals and a single tiny rhinestone in the center. High in quality, yet not perfect, as there is some dullness from age to the goldtone finish near the center of the rose. Tis a pity, but does not detract from the overall beauty of this brooch. There are I would wear this brooch as it is, but, for the perfectionist, I would think a bit of gold leaf or enamel would restore this piece nicely. The brooch measures 2" at its widest point. The pinback is in excellent working condition. Very heavy. Excellent vintage costume jewelry.
