About the Item
Mid-Century Faux Jade Buddha Pin with Rhinestones, in the Style of Cartier Travel Jewelry, c. 1950s
Dimensions: 1.75" H x 0.75" W
A glamorous and evocative mid-century costume jewelry brooch, this 1950s piece draws upon the exoticism and elegance of luxury travel-inspired designs in the style of Cartier. The brooch features a seated Buddha figure, finely carved from simulated jade (likely early Lucite or pressed glass) in a serene meditative pose. Measuring approximately 1.75 inches high by 0.75 inches wide, the figure is nestled within a teardrop-shaped gold-tone mandorla with a richly textured surface, mimicking brushed gold.
Six clear rhinestones, faceted and prong-set, add brilliance to the design—one at the crest of the halo and five others surrounding the central figure, including a horizontal band below the Buddha that evokes a jeweled pedestal. The piece is finely detailed with a mixture of matte and polished finishes, enhancing its dimensionality and visual impact.
Unmarked, but likely of American or European origin, this brooch is an excellent example of high-quality costume jewelry from the postwar era, created for a fashion-forward clientele who embraced opulent looks for travel or evening wear. It channels the spirit of Cartier’s mid-century “faux” bijoux—bold, exotic, and perfectly chic.
