Vintage Pansy Flower Brooch - Yellow and Brown with Rhinestone Center

This item is a vintage enamel pansy brooch, a classic piece of floral costume jewelry.  Gold-Toned with Florentine Finish: The textured, brushed pattern on the metal is typical of mid-to-late 20th-century costume jewelry design.  Clutch Back (Tie Tack / Lapel Pin Style): Instead of a traditional long safety pin mechanism, it features a post with a squeeze-clutch backing.   This indicates it is likely a mid-century or later piece (1960s–1980s) designed to be worn as a lapel pin or hat pin.  Design & Features Material: It features molded metal petals finished with hand-painted matte or gloss enamel.  Centerpiece: The center is set with a faceted clear rhinestone or glass crystal to represent the pistil.  Symbolism: Historically, pansy jewelry was exchanged between loved ones as a token of remembrance, derived from the French word penser (to think).    #floral
