Hester Fleming Vintage
Pennino · 1950s · Crystal Brooch
A beautifully sculptural mid-century brooch by Pennino, designed in the elegant ribbon style that the house became known for.
Two sweeping arcs of baguette-cut crystals cascade through a glittering pavé frame, creating movement and depth from every angle. The dimensional construction and high-quality stone setting are classic Pennino. .
Pennino jewellery was produced in New York from the 1920s through the 1950s, and pieces like this were prized for their superior rhinestones and meticulous craftsmanship. The brooch remains a favourite among collectors for its sculptural silhouette and exceptional sparkle.
This striking statement piece sits beautifully on a blazer lapel, knitwear, or evening jacket.
