Stunning czech glass brooch featuring faceted ruby red glass stones and a mixture of textured and polished bright gold-tone metal.
The bracelet has a large oval stone in the center with 6 smaller stones accenting the brooch. One of the small stones is darker than the others. Please see photos.
The brooch is rectangular shaped. It has a very pretty dimensional floral/foliage design. The brooch has a combination of textured and smooth surfaces with shiny highlights. In the photos, the shiny surfaces appear dark but it is a reflection. The brooch is 2 inches across and 1 inch from top to bottom.
As is common with Czech jewelry the back of the pin is ornate as well. The back is signed MADE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA. The closure is an old tube/trombone clasp. The clasp works well.
This piece is in very nice condition.

Bohemia, which is now a part of the Czech Republic, played an important role in the history of glass jewelry. For many centuries, the foundries of former Czechoslovakia had been renowned for their impressive Czech crystal, glass and jewelry making craftsmanship. Before the Second World War, numerous factories all over the country produced rhinestone jewelry and the work of Bohemian jewelers was admired all over the world. Unfortunately, many of these factories were closed during the war and haven't been reopened on sale since then. Czech jewelers had many centuries of practice and experience in setting, designing and creating one of the world's finest crystal gems which have always carried a significant Czech style, with its unusual and beautiful design.
