Step into the vintage charm of the 1970s with this exquisite cloisonné peacock brooch. Unmarked yet unmistakably crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this piece features the peacock’s majestic plumage in vibrant royal blues, greens, pinks, and hints of burgundy. The ancient technique of cloisonné is beautifully employed here, with thin gold-tone wires creating compartments filled with rich enamel colors, each fired to a perfect gloss, capturing the peacock's natural allure.
During the 1970s, such ornamental pieces were a nod to the exuberant fashion of the time, where bold designs and rich, colorful patterns were in vogue. This brooch, with its intricate enamel work set in gold-tone metal, reflects the era's appreciation for artistry and craftsmanship that drew inspiration from nature's splendid forms. Its rollover clasp ensures secure attachment, marrying functionality with elegance.
This vintage piece is a celebration of art from a bygone era, ideal for collectors and fashion enthusiasts alike. It carries the spirit of mid-century fashion, characterized by a freedom of expression and a fondness for the flamboyant. Whether adorning a lapel, scarf, or hat, this peacock brooch is more than a simple accessory; it is a timeless piece of wearable art that continues to fascinate with its detailed beauty and historical significance.
