The frame is built around an openwork floral and scroll lattice, with marcasites accenting the flower centres and detail points. Non-magnetic, consistent with a base metal alloy. No maker's marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarcasite pieces like this were produced across Western and Eastern Europe throughout the mid-20th century, with the filigree-and-marcasite combination at its most popular in the 1960s–1980s. The style reads timeless rather than dated — it sits comfortably alongside both period outfits and modern wardrobes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePins well to a collar, lapel, or the front of a cardigan. The dark sparkle of marcasite sits differently from rhinestones — more understated, more considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Brooch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1970s–1980s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Silver-tone metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStones: Marcasite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 4 × 3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarked: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: C-clasp, working\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Floral, filigree, marcasite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent · No visible damage or wear, clasp functions, finish and stones intact throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Rare Room","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53834867376465,"sku":"RR-0115","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0846\/6667\/9633\/files\/20260521_214757.jpg?v=1779731535","url":"https:\/\/therareroom.co.uk\/products\/vintage-silver-tone-filigree-floral-brooch-openwork-costume-jewelry-retro-pin","provider":"The Rare Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
