The brooch reflects the Art Nouveau revival trend of the 1960s, when jewelry design leaned into natural forms, flowing lines, and botanical motifs. Faux pearls were widely used during this period as affordable stand-ins for fine materials, especially in costume pieces marketed through department stores and mid-range jewelry lines. The curled leaf structure and hanging pearl design mimic earlier Edwardian and Art Nouveau aesthetics but with the practicality of post-war materials and mass production. The lightweight metal and molded plastic pearls kept cost low while delivering visual drama—these were made to catch light and movement on a structured dress or coat. This style often accompanied coordinated earrings and was frequently worn in formal or evening settings.
