Classic Giovanni Rose Brooch / Pin / Vintage Jewelry / American Western Antique Accessories

The most famous three-dimensional roses were produced by Giovanni, and this Christmas rose provided inspiration for the namesake series "The Legend of the Christmas Rose," created in the 1960s. This piece is unique among brooches from the 1960s and was a bestseller, known as "The Legend of the Christmas Rose." A poem is also included with the brooch. Legend has it that on Christmas Eve, roses bloomed in the snowy mountains, known as "Snow Roses" or the Rose of Christ. The Christmas rose symbolizes miracles of hope, love, and faith! This brooch is plated with 24K gold, which is why its condition has been so well-maintained to this day.

The brand's most famous jewelry consists of brooches and pins in the form of flowers and rosebuds. Traditionally, Giovanni jewelry materials include gold and silver plating, enamel, and crystals in various colors. Giovanni is not the name of the company but a trademark for a line of jewelry. The main concept behind this jewelry line was the floral motifs produced by Longcraft. Giovanni jewelry, created by Longcraft, especially its floral series, gained popularity among women worldwide. Later period Giovanni jewelry has also been compared to Givenchy.
