Brand: Anna Klein Period / Year: 1980s – 1990s Style: The brooch has a romantic and refined style, with a clear nod to vintage floral motifs. The combination of clear plastic, gold tones and sparkling crystals gives the piece a glamorous look that suits both classic and festive outfits. Materials: The petals are made of clear acrylic or lucite, shaped into elegant undulating leaves with fine metal wire accents. The flower's heart consists of round-cut rhinestones in gold-tone settings, and beneath the petals sits a gold metal flower shape as a subtle backdrop. The metal used is presumably a gold-tone alloy, such as gilt brass or zinc. Design: The design depicts a six-petalled flower, built up from transparent petals that create depth and a lovely play of light. At the centre sits a cluster of glittering rhinestones in various sizes, giving the whole a luxurious and sparkling appearance. The combination of transparency, gold and shine makes this a striking yet elegant piece of jewellery. Clasp: On the reverse, the brooch is fitted with a classic rotating clasp with pin, firmly attached to a metal base. This type of clasp is typical of vintage brooches from this period and ensures the piece can be worn securely on clothing, scarves or hats. Dimensions: diameter 7 cm Signed Anne Klein was born Hannah Golofsky on 3 August 1923 in Brooklyn. After her marriage to Ben Klein in the 1940s she took the name Anne Klein and grew into an icon of American fashion. In 1968 she founded Anne Klein & Co. She was known for her refined style and understood better than anyone what women wanted. In the early 1970s she expanded her collection with high-quality watches and jewellery, made of glass, rhinestones, cabochons and faux pearls. She collaborated with renowned names such as Erwin Pearl, Accessocraft and Swank. Her signature logo – the lion – became one of the most recognisable symbols in her jewellery line. Anne Klein passed away in 1974 at the age of 50, at the height of her success.
