Retro Era Moonstone Flower Brooch, 12.90 Carats

This retro brooch takes the shape of a lovely flower closely resembling a daisy. The petals are composed of 7 round-cut moonstone cabochons totaling at 12.90 carats. In the center of the flower is an eye-catching 2.60 carat amethyst that brings a pop of color to the overall piece. Constructed from 14K yellow gold, the stem and leaves complete the flower, adding movement.

After the austerity of World War II, flowers were widely used in jewelry. They helped bring optimism, freshness, and a return to nature as a contrast of the dreary days of the post-war. This fashion statement has stood the test of time, with flowers still a perfect way to liven up any outfit.
