Description

Text-based costume jewelry brooch spelling “QUEEN MOM,” produced in silver-tone metal with clear rhinestones set in prong mounts. The lettering is uniform and raised, designed for legibility at small scale.

The pinback clasp remains intact and functional. All stones are present and secure. The object retains a noticeable weight consistent with mid- to late-20th-century costume jewelry production, prior to widespread lightweight plastic construction.

Pieces of this type circulated as small gift items and personal adornments, intended for everyday wear rather than formal occasions. The phrase operates directly as it reads, combining familial language with decorative emphasis.

Within Clearance Archive, the brooch is positioned as a text object—an example of sentiment rendered in inexpensive materials and distributed at scale.
