Vintage Scottish thistle brooch with orange and cream marbled cabochon centre
A charming 1970s vintage Scottish thistle brooch in antiqued silver-tone metal, featuring a beautifully detailed arrangement of serrated thistle leaves and a domed orange, cream and grey cabochon at the centre.
 
The stone has a wonderfully banded, agate-like appearance, with swirling warm rust and caramel tones that give the piece plenty of character and depth.
 
The brooch is finished with a rollover safety clasp to the reverse and has a pleasingly solid, well-made feel despite its petite size.
 
Measuring approximately 1" wide by 1.5" long, it is a lovely little piece of Scottish-inspired vintage costume jewellery and would look brilliant pinned to a jacket lapel, scarf or knit.
 
In very good vintage condition with only light age-related wear to the metal surface.

    At My Vintage, we take time to carefully measure each item of vintage clothing so that you have the best chance of ensuring a good fit whenever you buy from us. We measure the clothing laid flat as the diagrams show below and for bust, chest, waist and hips we double the measurement. For example, if the waist measures 17" across when laid flat then this would equate to a 34" waist (17 x 2 = 34)

     

    We use the measurements we collate to assign each item of vintage clothing with an approximate modern-day size. For example, a dress with a 34" bust, 28" waist and 34" hips would normally equate to a current UK size 10. The labels on vintage clothing can vary massively depending on country of origin and date of manufacture.  Clothing sizes have changed over the years and from decade to decade we see alternative types of sizing as well as variations on the way measurements equate to dress sizes.

     

    We always recommend that you double-check the measurements of the vintage clothing item you are interested in, ideally by measuring an item of clothing you already own and that fits well, and comparing these measurements. There can be variations due to the desired fit, shape and fabric of an item but our size guidelines are normally very accurate and take the stress out of buying vintage online.
