🌟 Design & Inspiration
Palm-tree jewellery evokes sun, travel and holiday glamour — a motif much loved in mid-century costume jewellery. This textured gold-tone brooch captures that carefree, tropical spirit and pins beautifully to a blazer, coat or knit for an instant touch of vintage warmth.
Provenance & authenticity

Caring for vintage jewelry
Vintage jewelry lasts longest when kept dry and stored separately. Put it on last and take it off first: perfume, hairspray and skin cream all attack the plating.
Polish only with a soft, dry cloth. No water, no soap and no silver polish — that strips the layer off.
