Hello GORGEOUS!
Fantastic find! Beautiful and elegant vintage Czech gilded brass filigree brooch that features a large cabochon sapphire center stone surrounded by smaller light blue stones. Lots of “fire” in this brooch!
Czechoslovakia became a country in 1918 absorbing Bohemia, which was well known for its quality glass, garnets and beads. The Bohemian glass works produced large quantities of stones and beads as well as complete jewelry which was exported between 1918 and 1939. During the war Czechoslovakia was occupied by the Germans, so most of the Czech jewelry you will find will be dated from before WWII.
