This elegant bouquet brooch is a refined example of 1940s American jewelry, created by renowned designer Adolph Katz around 1940. Measuring 10 cm x 6 cm, the brooch is crafted in vermeil and embellished with multi-colored enamel, giving the flowers a realistic and vibrant effect.

Completing the bouquet, small pearls add a touch of delicacy and refinement, making this piece particularly elegant and decorative. The combination of enamel and pearls, combined with the quality of the vermeil workmanship, highlights Katz's craftsmanship and talent for creating refined, visually striking jewelry.

This brooch was published in Angie Gordon's book Costume Jewelry (p. 174, Coro section), underscoring its importance and recognition in the world of collectible jewelry. Perfect both as an elegant accessory and as a collector's item, it represents a significant example of 1940s American design.
