This 1940s Retro brooch takes the form of a sailing yacht in full sail, rendered in sterling silver gilt. The piece incorporates pave-set clear rhinestones covering the sail, red rhinestones forming the flag and mast points, and light blue aquamarine rhinestones tracing the wave scrollwork along the base, alongside a pin fastening on the reverse. The metallic surface displays a polished silver and gold finish, complete with visible crystal settings and an integrated stamping. Measuring 6 cm high, 5 cm wide, 1 cm deep, the item functions as a wearable accessory. In a modern home, the brooch serves as a decorative costume piece pinned to a jacket lapel for daily wear or formal outfits.

FAQs

Nautical motifs, including yachts and anchors, became widely popular in costume and fine jewellery during the 1930s and 1940s, reflecting maritime themes. Craftspeople frequently used sterling silver gilt and paste accents to create detailed figural pins.

These pieces were primarily manufactured from sterling silver coated with a layer of gold, known as silver gilt or vermeil. They were commonly set with faceted glass rhinestones or paste stones to emulate diamonds and coloured gemstones.

Authentic items typically feature silver purity stamps such as Sterling or 925 alongside rollover safety clasps. The reverse side generally exhibits open-backed stone settings and visible gilding wear consistent with age.

Vintage brooches can be displayed inside glass shadow boxes, pinned onto velvet-lined wall mounts, or arranged on decorative dressing table trays to showcase historic metalwork.

Wipe gently with a soft, dry lint-free cloth, avoiding liquid chemicals or immersion in water, which can damage silver gilt and loosen foil-backed stones. Store the piece in a dry environment inside a soft fabric pouch.
