Lot #140: Vintage Signed Austria Black Enamel Rose & Sapphire Blue Rhinestone Brooch

An exquisite piece of mid-century European costume jewelry, this vintage floral spray brooch features a striking, dimensional black enameled metal rose at its center. The blossom is elegantly framed by open-loop stems and a sweeping spray set with multi-tonal blue rhinestones. The brilliant stones include a mix of deep sapphire blue and shimmering aurora borealis (AB) light blue rhinestones, all tightly nestled in classic multi-prong gold-tone settings. The reverse side reveals excellent craftsmanship, showcasing a traditional rollover safety pin clasp and a distinct, authentic "AUSTRIA" maker's stamp housed within an oval cartouche. Austrian-manufactured jewelry from the 1950s and 1960s is highly collected for its superior construction, heavy gold plating, and exceptionally vibrant crystals. Pickup category timeslot {A}
