Embodying the vibrant spirit of the 1960s, this vintage Belgian brooch, circa 1950, is a stunning representation of Mother Nature's artistry. Crafted in a harmonious blend of two tones of precious metal, predominantly 18K yellow gold complemented by white gold or platinum accents, it captures the essence of a blooming flower branch.
