At the heart of the flower rests a luminous aqua rhinestone, individually prong-set to capture the light and provide a sparkling jewel-like focal point. The contrast between the molded petals and brilliant blue-green center gives the brooch wonderful depth, texture, and personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGerman costume jewelry makers became particularly celebrated during the mid-20th century for their inventive use of molded plastics, glass stones, and dimensional construction. Lightweight acrylic allowed designers to create increasingly elaborate botanical forms with depth and movement that would have been difficult to achieve in traditional metalwork. Prong-set rhinestones were frequently incorporated into better-quality pieces, adding brilliance while providing a more secure and refined setting than glued stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFloral jewelry was especially fashionable during the 1940s, bringing a sense of femininity and optimism to wartime and postwar wardrobes. Bold blossoms could instantly transform a simple jacket, dress, or hat, making these imaginative pieces both fashionable accessories and miniature works of wearable art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhimsical yet sophisticated, this three-dimensional acrylic flower brooch beautifully captures the ingenuity of vintage German costume jewelry. Its sculptural petals and sparkling aqua center make it a delightful collectible with all the charm, color, and individuality that make mid-century floral jewelry so irresistible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrand\/Maker: Unknown\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEra: 1940s \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial(s): Acrylic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarkings\/Stamps: Handmade in Western Germany\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCatch: Locking Safety Clasp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFastener Direction: Side to Side\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNecklace Bale: No\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeasurements\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Width: (side to side): 2\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Length: (top to bottom): 2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Profile: (back to front): .5\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Weight: 16.56g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCall Outs: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSku: TTV915\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"This \u0026 That Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46410984390842,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9124\/9082\/files\/IMG_0215.jpg?v=1787323900","url":"https:\/\/thisandthatvintage.com\/products\/1940s-western-germany-acrylic-3d-flower-brooch-with-prong-set-aqua-rhinestone-center","provider":"This \u0026 That Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
