Vintage 1965 Hobé Large Flower Brooch with Hidden Locket

A rare and beautifully crafted piece from Hobé , this large dimensional flower brooch reveals a secret: a discreet locket hidden beneath the petals. The stamen are sculptural and well‑defined, while the petals and leaves carry a soft satin finish with subtly deepened edges that give the goldtone metal a mellow, almost antiqued glow.
The locket opens smoothly and closes securely, ready to hold two tiny photos or mementos. The pin mechanism is in perfect working order.
This brooch is in very good vintage condition. On one leaf, two tiny spots have lost the satin finish—visible only on close inspection and consistent with age.
