This silver-colored brooch with stylized, curved leaves is very typical of the Kramer of New York aesthetic - an elegant, slightly modernist, but at the same time sculptural design. Abstraction inspired by flower or leaf motifs is a common theme in the Kramer style, especially in the 1950s-1960s. Finish: matte + shiny silver texture (called "frosted and polished" finish) - one of the Kramer features. Metal: often used "rhodium plated" metal or matte gold / silver plating. The "KRAMER" mark has been used since 1943, "KRAMER of NEW YORK" - most often ~1950-60. In the 1950s, they also produced "Christian Dior by Kramer" collections, which are highly valued today.
