Vintage 1930s French Floral Brooch Necklace - Rough Rubies and Dyed Stick Pearls - Gold‑Tone Daisy & Rose Pendant

A striking artisan necklace built around an authentic French brooch from the early 1930s. The round gold‑tone brooch features a beautifully detailed daisy and rose floral motif, finished with its original trombone clasp and crafted in the sculptural metalwork characteristic of the period.
To highlight the brooch’s warm tone and floral design, the necklace is constructed with two distinct strands:
•     one strand of purple‑pink dyed stick pearls, and
•     one strand of rough rubies.
The strands are intentionally kept separate, creating a vivid contrast between the organic luster of the pearls and the raw, textural presence of the rubies. This dual‑strand structure frames the brooch beautifully and gives the necklace a refined, contemporary asymmetry. The brooch is worn slightly off‑center for a sculptural, modern effect.
The necklace is finished with vermeil spacers and a vermeil toggle clasp, and it carries your EM signature tag in Etruscan alphabet for Elisabeth Michel‑Meyrueix.
This is an artisan one‑off design, created around a vintage element and built with new gemstone and pearl components.
The vintage brooch is in very good condition with light age‑appropriate wear. All necklace components (pearls, rubies, findings) are new
