Vintage 1970s Silver-Tone Turquoise Cluster Brooch Bohemian Antiqued Rustic UK

The combination of oxidised silver-tone and opaque turquoise cabochons is a hallmark of 1970s bohemian costume jewellery.

A vintage cluster brooch in antiqued silver-tone metal with a heavily textured, sculptural surround. A large round turquoise cabochon sits at the centre, ringed by a series of smaller matching turquoise accents set into the organic, rustic metalwork.

The design reads as deliberately rough-hewn — the irregular surface and dark oxidisation are part of the aesthetic, not wear.

The scale is bold enough to anchor a plain knit or a linen shirt collar, and sits well on a wool coat lapel in cooler months. It reads as casual-bohemian rather than formal — pairs naturally with earthy tones, layered textures, and denim.
