Pearl Brooch with Emerald Beads
1950s Jewelry, Unsigned Jewelry, Vintage Brooches & PinsThis vintage pearl brooch was made in France in the 1950s.

This spectacular piece is right for day or evening wear. Although the back of one pearl is peeling, this tiny blemish doesn't diminish the beauty of this jewel. For a unique look, how about wearing this piece as a wedding accessory – on the bride's gown or in her hair?
