History

This decorative piece was created around 1975 by Charles of the Ritz as a promotional item for their Revenescence skincare line. The brooch features a stylized Art Deco face design with black enamel and rhinestone accents, reflecting the renewed interest in Art Deco aesthetics during the 1970s. Such promotional jewelry pieces are highly valued by vintage costume jewelry collectors and beauty brand memorabilia enthusiasts. The dual functionality as both a brooch and pendant increases its appeal, while the distinctive Art Deco-inspired design makes it a representative piece of 1970s fashion that incorporated earlier 20th century aesthetic movements.
