This is a beautiful West Germany art glass brooch from the 1950s, featuring a smooth oval beige glass cabochon framed by an ornate scalloped gold-tone setting with four champagne-colored rhinestones at the compass points. The design is richly textured with dog-tooth prongs and intricate filigree detailing on the reverse side.
The back is stamped “Made W. Germany,” which helps date this piece between 1949 and 1990 — during the period when jewelry from the Western sector was specifically marked this way following WWII.
This brooch showcases the classic mid-century West German style, celebrated for its elaborate filigree metalwork and decorative use of glass stones and rhinestones. It’s a lovely example of post-war European craftsmanship that blends elegance and history.
