ART Signed Gold Tone Brocade Crown Brooch Vintage Rhinestone Costume Jewelry

Unusual crown brooch signed ART, a well-known name in signed vintage costume jewelry. Gold tone metal is worked into rope-twist bands over a dark brocade fabric center. The crown's arches set in sparkling rhinestones. Cool mixed-media piece that stands apart from typical all-metal crown brooches.

ART (Arthur Pepper) was American costume jewelry maker active circa 1950-1980. The copyright mark on this piece dates it to the post-1955 era of ART's production.
