Gold Tone Initial Brooch – 1960s Mamselle – Letter M or W

Sleek, sculptural, and wonderfully personal, this vintage 1960s Mamselle initial brooch turns a single letter into a piece of wearable mid-century design. Depending on its orientation, the sweeping form reads beautifully as either an M or W, making this an especially versatile find for lovers of vintage monogram jewelry.

Rendered in luminous gold tone metal, the brooch features elongated, ribbon-like strokes with curled terminals and subtly textured recessed surfaces. Polished edges catch the light and emphasize its dramatic silhouette, while the dimensional construction gives the piece a sophisticated presence without relying on stones or embellishment.
