Vintage 1950s French Rhodium-Plated Bow Brooch with Clear Rhinestones

This elegant vintage French brooch from the 1950s is a sparkling tribute to mid-century glamour. Crafted in rhodium-plated metal, it features a stylized bow design with sweeping loops and a fan-shaped base, all encrusted with clear rhinestones. The pavé setting includes both chatons and baguettes, creating a rich interplay of light and texture.
The brooch is unsigned, as was common for French costume jewelry of the era, and secures with a classic trombone clasp. It remains in very good vintage condition, with only a faint hint of yellowing to a few stones — a gentle reminder of its age and authenticity.
