Pair of Vintage Mother-of-Pearl Shell Brooches with White and Pink Rhinestones – USA, circa 1940

This enchanting pair of vintage brooches, made in the United States around 1940, is a rare example of nature-inspired costume jewelry, combining organic forms and refined materials in an elegant and delicate composition.

The brooches are crafted from genuine mother-of-pearl, expertly sculpted into the shape of a stylized shell, a beloved motif in 1940s design for its symbolism of femininity, the sea, and natural beauty. The iridescent, silky mother-of-pearl surface is embellished with a refined decoration of white and pink rhinestones, carefully arranged to create luminosity and chromatic movement.

Measuring 5 cm x 5 cm each, the brooches can be worn as a pair, for example, on either side of a collar or on shoulders and lapels, or individually for a more subtle yet refined effect. They are also perfect for collecting as a representative example of American costume jewelry of the period.

The original clip closures are still functional and secure, providing a secure fit on a variety of fabrics, from the lightest to the most structured.
