Vintage Translucent Cellulose Acetate Flower Brooch with Plum Edges and Berry Center | 1950s

A charming mid-century flower brooch crafted from molded translucent cellulose acetate. The layered petals have a soft yellow-green translucency with deep plum-colored edges, giving the flower a delicate stained-glass effect.

At the center, a cluster of small berry-like beads creates a dimensional floral core. The petals are heat-formed and slightly sculptural, a technique commonly used in mid-century plastic jewelry.

Lightweight yet visually striking, this brooch captures the playful material experimentation of the 1950s.
