Sphinx Mythical Creature Brooch 1960s Gold Tone Orange Resin Figural Pin Vintage Jewelry

✦ Sphinx – British Vintage Costume Jewelry
This vintage brooch is signed Sphinx, a well-regarded British costume jewelry maker known for its strong metalwork, quality finishes, and beautifully constructed figural and decorative designs.
Sphinx pieces have long been appreciated by collectors for their craftsmanship and distinctive character. Signed examples like this are especially appealing because they carry that unmistakable mid-century British vintage charm — elegant, unusual, and full of personality.

⭐ A Striking Mythical Creature Design
This brooch features a wonderfully expressive mythical creature figure, with a dramatic open mouth, vivid green rhinestone eyes, and a rich orange-red resin body.
The textured gold-tone setting gives the piece a sculptural, almost heraldic quality, while the pointed back and curling tail create a lively silhouette. It has that slightly whimsical, slightly mysterious look that makes vintage figural jewelry so collectible.

Rather than feeling overly sweet, this piece has a bold and characterful presence — the kind of brooch that instantly starts a conversation.

💛 Warm Colour and Sculptural Detail
The glowing orange-red resin cabochon gives this brooch a beautiful warmth, especially against the rich gold-tone metal. The colour feels deep and lively, adding a slightly dramatic vintage character to the design.
The creature’s form is compact yet full of movement, with lovely dimensional details throughout. From the bright green eyes to the curled tail and pointed back, every part of the brooch feels intentionally designed to give it life.

It would look especially lovely on a dark blazer, wool coat, knitwear, or scarf, and it also has wonderful display value for a vintage jewelry collection.

✦ Collector’s Note
Signed Sphinx brooches are popular with collectors because they combine dependable quality with strong visual design.
This piece is especially appealing for anyone drawn to figural jewelry, mythical creatures, or unusual vintage animal-inspired brooches. It has that perfect vintage balance of craftsmanship and eccentric charm — distinctive enough for collectors, yet still very wearable.

For lovers of British vintage costume jewelry, this is a small but memorable piece with real character.
