1940's design was greatly influenced by the oriental and the exotic. Here's a 'retro' style brooch from that period, studded with ruby coloured stones dramatically enhanced by the addition of flowing pendants.
This has been crafted from:
* High quality opal hued cultured pearls
* Vintage 'apple' and branch coral
* 1940's plastic pendants from US occupied Japan
* Goldtone and opal glass hearts
* Vintage goldtone beadcaps
* Vintage amber beads
* Japanese Miyuki seed beds
