Gorgeous and dainty vintage (1930s - 1950s) gold tone trembler brooch that has garnet red rhinestone pistil that moves or trembles as you move, hence the name trembler.
In excellent vintage condition and feels very well made. There is a lot of lovely details on this piece like textured petals and leaves with a stunning red center that catches the light beautifully.
I would consider this a summer brooch because of its delicate nature. You don't want to snag the middle on a scarf or jacket.
"Trembler" jewelry takes its name from the French en tremblant, meaning to shake or quiver — a technique first popularized in fine 18th and 19th-century jewelry, where a spring-mounted center stone moves independently as the wearer does. This flower brooch, with its garnet-red rhinestone pistil designed to tremble with movement, carries that same delicate, centuries-old mechanism into a 1930s–1950s costume piece.
