This late 1980s sailboat brooch is a stylish nautical costume jewellery piece, designed as a small yacht or pleasure sailboat. The shape is quite stylised, with a long, curved hull, a raised sail, and sweeping lines that give the brooch a nice sense of movement.
The front is decorated with glossy enamel-style panels in deep green, rich red and dark navy blue. The hull has three long bands of colour, while the sail is divided into curved sections, all outlined in gold-tone metal for a good stained-glass effect.
It has a classic resort, coastal and yacht club feel, making it a lovely piece for collectors of nautical jewellery, vintage brooches, boat pins, cruise wear accessories or novelty costume jewellery.
The back has a standard brooch pin fitting. Measurements: 4.5 cm x 4.5 cm (1.8" x 1.8"). In good vintage condition. Please note that the close-up photos and lighting may make the back and gold-tone finish appear more worn than it looks in real life. The brooch presents well in person, with minor age-related wear to the back and light wear to the gold-tone finish. The enamel-style panels present well.
Please view all photos carefully as they form part of the description.
If this little yacht has caught your eye, a like or share helps it find its next harbour ⛵✨
