"SANDOR" 40's-70's Gold tone bird motif brooch

"SANDOR"

40s–70s ornate bird and floral gold-tone brooch

From SANDOR, a name known in the American costume jewelry scene since the late 1930s and celebrated for its highly decorative pieces featuring flowers and animals, we present a standout item with exquisite patternwork.

Its design combines a classical pierced motif featuring birds and flowering branches with stacked, substantial, rope-like oval frames, allowing you to experience both vibrancy and depth at the same time.

Because no material markings or precious-metal purity stamps can be confirmed, this item is presented as costume jewelry using gold-tone metal. However, the plating color, reflected as a brighter yellow-gold tone, gently illuminates the fine ridges of the bird feathers and flowering branches. Through its three-dimensional casting-style expression, it delivers a captivating presence that draws the eye, despite being a small decorative piece.

At the center, delicate motifs of a bird perched among branches and flowers are arranged with care. Surrounding the design, a frame made of twisted, wire-like lines lends the entire piece a more defined outline—so it does not remain merely delicate. You can also enjoy the substantial richness characteristic of vintage jewelry and its classic, dignified elegance.

On the reverse, a stamp readable as SANDOR can be seen within an oval cartouche. The piece is made as a brooch with a horizontal pin fitting, hinge, and clasp/receiver. While we cannot determine the exact period because stamps indicating a date code or manufacturing year are not visible, based on the appearance of the stamping, the reverse texture that retains casting-derived unevenness, and the fact that it has no modern display elements, it is naturally understood as a vintage piece from approximately the 1940s to the 1970s.

Simply adding it to the lapel of a jacket or the chest area of a wool coat will bring a refined, tasteful touch of brilliance. And if you use it as a scarf pin, it will add a soft golden glow around your face—making it especially recommended for those who want to incorporate vintage-style depth into everyday styling.

As for the mood, this brooch is not something to enjoy only as an accessory, but as a small star that helps refine your everyday look. By pairing it with simple knitwear, a black jacket, or a leather bag, you can achieve a natural kind of luxury without over-dressing.

A piece where the calm brilliance of the bird-and-flower branch motifs beautifully overlaps with the classic expression of the gold tone—offering a charm that only vintage costume jewelry can provide.

We hope you will take this opportunity.
