The name Rose spelled out in a single continuous gold-tone wire, the letterforms looping and curling with the casual flourish of mid-century penmanship. Wire name brooches like this were made in vast quantities during the 1940s and 1950s — sold at variety stores and given as small personal gifts — but finding one with your name intact and unworn is its own quiet luck. This one is clean, the wire holding its shape without bends or breaks. Wears beautifully on a collar, lapel, or pinned to a tote. Unsigned, as nearly all wire name brooches of this type were.
