This is a two vintage rhinestone cherry brooches with green leaves from Warner, circa 1960s.
Set with garnet rhinestone chatons (the head of a ring in which a stone is set) for the cherry and green marquis cut rhinestones for the leaves on a black, japanned back finish. A japanned finish in jewelry is one in which the metal is coated in a shiny black coating. Normally, this is finished with a lustrous, black lacquer. The technique in Europe uses varnish with a resin base, which is applied in heat-dried layers and then polished to give a glossy finish.
The brooch measures approximately 1.6" long by 1" wide (41.5mm x 28.5mm), weighing 11 grams.
The brooches are in excellent condition. The rhinestones resemble garnets.
There is a manufacturer's stamp on the back side.
