1950s Brooch Details

Round dome brooch with a coiled rope motif.
Turquoise cabochons are set in the coils.
The seals of Yemenite Jews were used to authenticate documents, letters, and official decrees. A seal would be impressed into wax or clay to signify that a document was genuine and authorized by the seal’s owner. This practice ensured the integrity of communications and legal transactions.
The metal bale on the back turns this brooch into a pendant.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR VINTAGE JEWELRY

Vintage Jewelry Care

Always handle vintage jewelry gently and store it carefully between wearings. Keep each piece in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches, tangling, or metal abrasion. Avoid contact with water, perfume, hairspray, and household cleaners, which can dull finishes or weaken settings. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away oils and dust. For metals and stones, use a mild, non-abrasive jewelry cleaner suited to the materials. Never submerge rhinestone or glued pieces in water or use ultrasonic cleaners, as moisture can damage the foil backing or loosen stones. With proper care, your vintage jewelry will retain its beauty and character for years to come.
