Two-Tone Cattail Brooch – 1950s – Gold & Silver Botanical Design

A wonderfully sculptural piece of 1950s vintage jewelry, this two-tone cattail brooch captures the sleek botanical styling that made mid-century costume jewelry so distinctive. Three dimensional golden cattails rise against sweeping silver-tone leaves, creating a graceful mix of texture, movement, and contrasting metallic color.

The curled tips of the leaves and individually detailed cattails give the brooch an almost architectural quality. Its petite scale makes it especially wearable—striking enough to catch the eye without overwhelming a lapel, scarf, or dress.
