Vintage Signed ART Arthur Pepper Rhinestone Brooch Silver Tone Leaf Swirl

Beautiful vintage signed ART rhinestone brooch featuring an elegant dimensional leaf/ribbon swirl design covered in sparkling clear rhinestones.  The reverse is clearly marked ART ©, the signature associated with Arthur Pepper / Mode-Art, a well-known American vintage costume jewelry maker.  This piece has a dramatic openwork design with sweeping curved bands of rhinestones that overlap and twist into a graceful abstract leaf or ribbon shape. The silver-tone setting gives it a classic mid-century look and allows the clear stones to really stand out.  A particularly pretty example of signed ART jewelry and an excellent piece for collectors of vintage rhinestone jewelry, mid-century costume jewelry, statement brooches, bridal accessories, or glamorous vintage fashion.
