Vintage 1970s Gold-Tone Oval Brooch Banded Amber Stone Basket Weave Frame Pin

The stone is what you notice first — banded amber-brown with depth and internal movement that shifts with the angle of light.

A large oval brooch in gold-tone metal, the surround worked in a repeating basket-weave ridge pattern that gives it texture and presence without a specific motif. The central stone is an oval cabochon, banded in warm amber and deep brown tones.

The form is sculptural and abstract — no florals or figures, just the interplay of the textured gold frame and the stone set inside it.

At 5.5 cm across this sits confidently on a coat or jacket lapel. It works best on heavier fabric — wool, boucle, denim — where the scale reads as deliberate. The warm amber and brown of the stone picks up naturally with camel, tan, rust, and earth tones.
