This striking vintage costume modernist brooch is a compelling fusion of Art Deco elegance and mid-century modernist abstraction. Its bold, sculptural design is crafted from a metal base with cold enamel detailing, creating a visually dynamic and texturally intriguing piece.

The base layer of the brooch is asymmetrical and organic, with smooth, flowing edges that feel almost like a naturally eroded pebble or an abstract painter’s brushstroke. This freeform silhouette softens the traditionally rigid lines of the Art Deco movement, making it feel both futuristic and grounded in vintage artistry.

The top layer is a raised, pierced black silhouette of a stylized Art Deco lady, a figure evocative of 1920s glamour and theatricality. Her face is defined by sharp cheekbones, hollowed-out almond-shaped eyes, and delicately carved features, reminiscent of the elegant flappers and silent film starlets of the Jazz Age.

The piercing technique used to create the facial details allows light to pass through the brooch, enhancing its sense of depth and contrast.
The base layer is coated in orange cold enamel, a smooth, matte enamel finish that mimics the warmth of aged bakelite or vintage lacquerware. The rich, burnt-orange hue adds a striking contrast against the black silhouette.

The black enamel silhouette is delicately raised, giving it a multi-dimensional effect—almost like a bas-relief sculpture.

This brooch beautifully captures elements of both Art Deco and Modernist design.
