The Rosegay pairs two antiqued silver-tone blossoms side by side, each petal deeply shadowed and textured — one centered with a vivid amethyst-purple rhinestone, the other with a cream faux pearl, each bloom accompanied by a small seed pearl at its base. The oxidized finish gives it the quiet gravity of antique jewelry rather than the brightness of typical 1970s costume pieces. Released in 1974 as part of Avon's Victorian botanical series, the Rosegay has remained a consistent presence among collectors for its unusual pairing of stones and its refined, pressed-flower quality.
