Learning Note: Leaf brooches in autumn colors were hugely popular in the 1960s-70s when nature-inspired jewelry dominated fashion! The dimensional layered design with complete rhinestone encrusting was a hallmark of quality costume jewelry from this era. Amber and topaz tones were especially prized for their rich, warm glow. While "MZ" isn't as well documented as some makers, pieces bearing this mark are known for solid construction and generous use of rhinestones. These elaborate leaf brooches were essential fall accessories, perfect for harvest season celebrations!
