The brooch is shaped like a stylized flower or blossom. A dark, oblong, likely faux onyx or similar dark stone, gemstone, is centrally positioned; it is the focal point. 
Intricate filigree, openwork gold-tone metalwork forms the petals and stem-like elements surrounding the central stone. The filigree design has a lacy, open pattern.
The brooch's "petals" curve outward in a gentle, radiating arrangement. A decorative band or ribbon section of filigree gold-tone metalwork wraps around the lower portion of the brooch.
