Vintage 1930's rolled gold brooch. This fun brooch is made from rolled gold. Rolled gold is a hybrid metal consisting of fine layers of gold that are fused by heat to create one or both sides of a base metal of brass or copper. Usually rolled gold consists of 5% gold. This process was patented in England in 1817; it became popular in the 1920's and 1930's and was used in high quality vintage jewellery.
This brooch is made from rolled gold wire moulded into a letter shape and secured onto a rolled gold round wire forming the safety pin. The brooch could be a letter 'p', 'g', or 'j'.
MEASUREMENTS
The brooch measures 4cm / 1.5" in height and 2.3cm / 0.9 in width.
CONDITION
