Made in the 1950s, this rather large milk glass and black rhinestone cameo brooch is a very impressive monochromatic design, and it is a left facing cameo. It is designer signed Dodds. 

Dodds only made jewelry for about 10 years from around 1950 to 1960. Their signed jewelry is uncommon to find and highly collectible. Also, this is THE most desirable large brooch Dodds ever made because of the monochromatic design. 

The brooch is made of silver rhodium metal with individual pierced settings around each of the SUPER sparkling black rhinestone chatons that make up the frame. The left facing Victorian lady cameo is made of satin matt black glass atop a background of high gloss milk glass. The cameo setting is framed with a silver rhodium rope style frame.

Probably one of the largest vintage cameos you will ever see, this brooch is a large hand full at 2 1/2" tall" x 2" 1/ 8"" wide. You can get a better indication of the size looking at the brooch in my hand.

The entire brooch is in excellent pristine clean well cared for condition. All of the black rhinestones are original, present, and very brilliant with sharp facets. The milk glass and the black glass cameo are great as well with no scratches, scuffs, or chips. The silver rhodium metal is like new with no lack of brilliance. 

The back of the brooch is finished in textured silver/light yellow gold rhodium and the original fine working safety clasp is in place. The back also has the DODDS or DODDZ cartouche. 

 Comes gift wrapped and shipped in a luxury presentation brooch box.
