1940s WW2 Gold Wash Daffodil Brooch

This stunning 1940s World War II-era daffodil brooch is both a beautiful and historically significant piece, reflecting the resilience of the wartime era. Due to precious metal shortages during the war, the use of gold wash over sterling silver became popular as an alternative to solid gold, making pieces from this period highly desirable both for their beauty and historical context. The brooch's daffodil design is intricately crafted in sterling silver, with the stamen adorned with simulated pearls, diamonds, and sapphires. These faux gemstones were expertly incorporated during the war due to material restrictions, adding an extra layer of allure and historical significance to this exceptional piece.

The daffodil, often symbolizing hope and renewal, was especially poignant during wartime, representing both the resilience of the people and the promise of a brighter future. This brooch is a wonderful example of that sentiment.

Marked "STERLING," it fastens securely with a safety clasp and weighs 31.9 grams. With dimensions of 3 5/8 x 2 1/2 inches, this piece is a striking and sentimental addition to any collection.
