1960s–1970s Japanned Metal & Autumnal Rhinestone Brooch-Pendant

This vintage find is all about those warm, cozy colors. It features deep amber, olive green, and ruby red rhinestones set against a "japanned" (black-coated) metal base. That dark background really makes the autumnal colors pop. It’s a super versatile piece because it has both a pin back and a pendant loop—so you can wear it as a classic brooch on a coat or slide it onto a chain for a completely different look.
