Vintage Leo Glass Sterling Silver Floral Brooch with Emerald & Clear Rhinestones – 1940s
Vintage Leo Glass Emerald Rhinestones & Sterling Silver Round Floral Brooch -1940s Signed
A beautifully preserved piece of 1940s craftsmanship, this signed Leo Glass sterling silver floral brooch brings together delicate open‑work metal, sculpted botanical detailing, and rich emerald rhinestones in a compact, elegant silhouette. The design centers on a raised sterling flower set with a deep emerald rhinestone, framed by two finely shaped leaves that soften the geometry and add natural movement. Below, a clear rhinestone is flanked by two vivid emerald stones, each one prong‑set with the precision characteristic of Leo Glass’s mid‑century work.
The brooch carries the “Leo Glass Sterling” signature in an oval cartouche on the reverse — a hallmark of quality and a confirmation of its 1940s origin. The sterling has a soft, even patina, and the stones retain excellent clarity and color, giving the piece a quiet radiance that reads beautifully on fabric.
A refined, collectible brooch with strong era presence, ideal for anyone who appreciates sterling floral design and the understated elegance of mid‑century American jewelry.
Very good vintage condition with bright stones, clean sterling, and secure pin mechanism. Light age‑appropriate patina to the silver, consistent with careful wear and storage.
