A face that speaks without words. This expressive clown brooch features stylized gold-tone details, a pointed hat with geometric flair, and a single enamel tear—red as memory, bold as feeling. The bow tie adds a touch of whimsy, while the arched brows and downturned lips evoke quiet drama.

Estimated to date from the 1980s, this vintage piece shows light wear and carries the emotional weight of its era. A striking addition to any collection that celebrates character, performance, and the beauty of imperfection.

“Because some stories shimmer in silence—and some tears are meant to be worn.”
