Vintage Sphinx Blue Art Glass Statement Brooch, 1960s–70s | Large 7cm Oval | Gold-Plated Rope Frame | Signed British Costume Jewellery
$39.60
When this brooch catches the light it looks like a sliver of ocean has been set in gold. The domed blue art-glass cabochon swirls with painterly bands of cobalt, aqua and milky white—like waves rolling over sea-glass—then flashes back with faceted sparkle. A richly textured, gold-plated rope frame cradles the stone and adds depth and warmth.
Made in Britain and signed Sphinx on the reverse, this is everything we love about mid-century costume jewellery: bold scale, beautiful materials, and effortless drama. It’s a piece you can pin to a tailored coat, a knit dress, a blazer lapel or even a scarf to turn a simple outfit into something special. If you collect vintage, this one displays beautifully in a jewellery tray too.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
What kind of jewellery do you sell?
We offer curated vintage jewellery, mostly pre-2005. Each piece is hand-selected for its style, quality, and soul. Think timeless design with a sustainable spirit.
Is everything vintage?
Yes — or thoughtfully preloved. If a piece isn’t vintage (i.e., pre-2005), we’ll only include it if it aligns with our elevated, ethical aesthetic. No fast fashion. No filler.
Where do you source your jewellery?
Each piece is sourced slowly and intentionally from trusted vintage sellers, estate clearances, charity shops, and personal collections across the UK.
Do you clean the jewellery before sending?
Yes — gently and carefully. Every piece is cleaned, polished, and checked before it reaches you. We honour
