Signed Old Crest by Gold Crest Co., this sculptural blossom pin is crafted in sterling silver with traces of its original 12k gold wash (vermeil). Six softly cupped petals radiate from a domed center, capturing the refined florals favored in mid-century design. Measuring about 2-3/4” across and weighing 32.5g, it offers a substantial, elegant presence. The surface shows gentle, even patina consistent with age, enhancing contrast and depth.
Gold Crest Co. produced jewelry from the 1930s through the 1950s and used the Old Crest mark on sterling pieces finished with a delicate gold wash. Vermeil of this era was prized for its warm luminosity over silver, creating a sophisticated two-tone effect as the high points mellow over time. The bold blossom motif echoes the period’s celebration of natural forms—graceful, dimensional, and impeccably balanced—resulting in a brooch that reads as both wearable sculpture and an authentic artifact of American mid-century style.
A distinguished choice for the collector of signed vintage silver, this pin elevates a lapel, dress, or knit with effortless refinement. Its generous scale makes a confident statement, while the gold-washed sterling lends a soft, flattering glow. Versatile and timeless, it transitions from daytime tailoring to evening ensembles, destined to become a signature piece with lasting heirloom appeal.
