This late-1940s piece is one of several versions of a Marcel Boucher-designed brooch with petals that open and close. This design is often referred to as Day to Night flowers. With its gold-tone petals and stem, and a faux pearl adorned with diamanté in the center, this brooch closes with a roll-over safety clasp. Note that the bright areas on the petals are only camera reflections. This piece is charming!
