Metal, Enamel - Brooch - 2 brooches - Bijoux Cascio

Up for auction is a refined lot consisting of two vintage brooches signed Bijoux Cascio, the historic Italian manufacturer famous for its high costume jewelry creations in the twentieth century.

Both pieces represent a distinguished testimony of the craftsmanship of the era, standing out for the careful use of enamels and rhinestones on solid gold-toned metal mounts.
- The first piece is a figurative brooch depicting an exotic bird. The structure in gold-toned metal serves as a base to a lively play of color: the wings and the long asymmetrical tail are adorned with multicolored enamels with shifting shades that fade from emerald green to yellow. The body of the bird and part of the plumage are densely studded with white rhinestones of brilliant cut, which confer three-dimensionality and excellent light refraction to the jewel.
- The second piece is a flower-themed brooch, shaped in the form of a stylized corolla. The design is characterized by the notable sculptural depth of the petals, decorated with a field of dark blue enamel. To create a strong visual contrast, the edges of each individual petal are entirely delineated by dense rows of white rhinestones, which emphasize its spiral architecture.
Both pieces bear on the back the factory mark "BIJOUX CASCIO" stamped inside an oval cartouche, confirming the manufacturing provenance.
The brooches are presented in excellent condition: the enamels remain intact, the rhinestone settings are complete and the pin clasps are operational. This lot represents an interesting acquisition for costume jewelry collectors and for connoisseurs of Italian vintage design.
