British Sphinx brand antique, coin-textured hammered finish with iridescent pearls, oval arrangement gold-plated brooch, pin

▰▰▰▰▰▰SPHINX▰▰▰▰▰▰ Founded in London in 1948 by S. Root, the British brand Sphinx is renowned not only for its exquisite craftsmanship and diverse design styles but also for its elegant, intricate sculptural decorations that elevate costume jewelry to the visual standard of haute couture. Due to its meticulous quality, Sphinx secured manufacturing orders from numerous major brands, including Kenneth Jay Lane (KJL), Butler & Wilson, Saks 5th Ave., Neiman Marcus, and Bloomingdale’s. Records indicate that in the 1950s and 1960s, Sphinx even produced pieces for Ciner, Jomaz, and Boucher. While not immune to adopting and merging design elements, they often created works that surpassed the originals in artistry. A prime example is Sphinx's most famous peacock brooch, which draws inspiration from Boucher's renowned bird design series. However, pieces actually marked with the Sphinx name and a four-digit code were exclusively produced and circulated between the 1960s and 1990s. To collectors, these are rare treasures, as Sphinx ceased all operations in the late 1990s. ▰▰▰▰▰▰VINTAGE JEWELRY DETAILS▰▰▰▰▰▰ Brand Marking: SPHINX 21063 Era: 1960s~1980s Materials: Gold-plated alloy, iridescent coated faux pearls Dimensions: Approx. 2.1 × 5.8 cm Condition: Good, with minor signs of age. ▰▰▰▰▰▰ABOUT THE VINTAGE JEWELRY KIOSK▰▰▰▰▰▰ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51673204030_863373c623_c.jpg ✧I✧ The proprietor personally selects jewelry and vintage pieces from approximately the 1920s to 1990s, sourced from locations including the US, Canada, the UK, Spain, Germany, Italy, and Japan. ✧II✧ These vintage pieces have journeyed through decades.
