Czech Crystal Brooch – 1940s Gold-Tone Oval Bow

A sparkling ribbon tied within an oval frame gives this 1940s Czech crystal brooch its graceful, romantic character. Clear rhinestones trace the open silhouette, sweeping around the border and across the bow’s curved loops and trailing ends. The warm gold-tone setting lends contrast to the bright stones, while finely ridged edges add another layer of detail. Stamped “Made in Czechoslovakia” on the reverse, it is a lovely piece for those drawn to early vintage costume jewelry.
