Learning Note: Elaborate filigree brooches were hugely popular in the 1950s-60s when jewelry designs drew inspiration from Victorian and Edwardian eras! The intricate openwork metalwork required skilled craftsmanship and was often done by hand or with detailed dies. Aqua or turquoise blue rhinestones paired with gold became a signature sophisticated color combination of the era. These large statement brooches were essential accessories – worn on suit lapels, coat collars, and hats. The dimensional layered construction created wonderful movement and sparkle!
