A dramatic 1960s statement brooch centered by an oversized oval faceted citrine-yellow glass rhinestone. The beautifully cut stone catches the light in brilliant shades of golden yellow and warm honey, creating a luminous centerpiece against the polished gold-tone setting. The stone is securely prong set and open backed, allowing additional light to pass through the glass and emphasize its faceting and color. Surrounding the centerpiece is an exuberant arrangement of sculpted gold-tone ruffles. The folded and pleated forms curl outward around the stone like gathered ribbon, giving the brooch exceptional dimension and movement. The combination of the enormous faceted glass rhinestone, highly polished gold-tone finish and bold ruffled construction creates the glamorous oversized look associated with 1960s costume jewelry. The reverse reveals substantial cast openwork construction, an open-backed center stone and a traditional pin stem with rollover safety clasp. The brooch is unsigned. The dimensional cast setting, oversized faceted glass centerpiece, bright gold-tone finish, openwork reverse and exuberant ruffled design are all consistent with 1960s costume jewelry construction and styling. Why You Will Be Obsessed With It The enormous citrine-yellow glass rhinestone absolutely glows in the light. Sculpted ruffles create incredible three-dimensional texture. The brilliant golden-yellow centerpiece makes an immediate statement. The open-backed setting lets light illuminate the faceted glass beautifully. Its bold 1960s scale looks spectacular on a blazer, coat, dress or scarf. The unusual ruffled surround gives it far more personality than a traditional rhinestone brooch. Condition Very good vintage condition with wear consistent with age. The oversized faceted citrine-yellow glass rhinestone remains bright and securely set, and the pin mechanism is intact. The gold-tone finish retains excellent overall brilliance with localized surface wear, finish variation and discoloration visible upon close inspection, particularly around some raised edges and areas of the reverse. Please review all photographs closely as they are an important part of the condition description.
