View Uranium Glass Brooch Flower Basket Pin UV Glow Pink Rhinestone 1.75 Inch Vintage with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The uranium glass rhinestone gives you a dramatic neon green UV glow. The reverse has a traditional hinged pin stem with locking safety clasp. The piece is unsigned. Rows of vivid pink rhinestones make the little basket sparkle from edge to edge. This charming vintage flower basket brooch combines one of the most recognizable mid-century figural motifs with a hidden surprise under ultraviolet light. The dimensional gold-tone basket is densely packed with brilliant pink prong-set rhinestones, while graceful stems, molded leaves and flowers rise above the basket beneath a twisted rope-textured handle. The floral arrangement is accented with colorful round glass rhinestones in green, blue, pink and lavender. The green stone is uranium glass and fluoresces a vivid neon green under UV light, giving the brooch an especially fun collectible element. The remaining stones create a cheerful pastel garden palette against the warm gold-tone setting. The construction and styling are consistent with mid-century costume jewelry, likely circa 1950s to 1960s. Flower basket brooches were particularly popular during this period, and comparable examples use the same combination of openwork cast metal, individually prong-set rhinestones, dimensional floral stems and twisted basket handles. The reverse has a traditional hinged pin stem with locking safety clasp. The piece is unsigned. Why You Will Be Obsessed With It The uranium glass rhinestone gives you a dramatic neon green UV glow. Rows of vivid pink rhinestones make the little basket sparkle from edge to edge. Colorful pastel flowers turn a classic floral brooch into a miniature jeweled garden. The dimensional flower basket design is unmistakably charming mid-century costume jewelry. At approximately 1.75 inches, it has plenty of presence without being oversized. It looks completely different under UV light, giving you two personalities in one brooch. Condition Beautiful vintage condition with bright rhinestones and an attractive gold-tone finish. The stones appear secure, and the dimensional floral elements remain well defined. The reverse shows normal age-related surface variation and wear consistent with vintage costume jewelry. The pin mechanism and safety clasp are present. Please review the photographs closely as they are part of the condition description.
