Description

View Atomic Starburst Brooch Rhinestone Pin Vintage 1950s Silver Tone Statement with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The atomic starburst silhouette is pure Mid-Century drama. The piece appears unsigned. The construction is especially striking. Dozens of clear rhinestones make the entire brooch sparkle. A large center rhinestone creates an incredible focal point. This dramatic vintage atomic starburst brooch captures the exuberant space-age glamour of the 1950s. An oversized clear round rhinestone commands the center, surrounded by multiple tiers of sparkling clear rhinestones that radiate outward on geometric silver-tone branches. The open framework creates the explosive starburst or firework silhouette so strongly associated with Mid-Century Atomic design. The construction is especially striking. Individual prong-set rhinestones graduate outward from the center while decorative fleur-de-lis-like metal details add dimension between the rays. The branching geometry gives the brooch movement from every angle and allows the fabric beneath it to become part of the design. The reverse shows an open silver-tone framework with open-backed stone settings, a long pin stem, and rollover safety clasp. The combination of construction, clear rhinestones, explosive radial form, and futuristic geometric design is consistent with 1950s to early 1960s Atomic-era costume jewelry. The piece appears unsigned. Why You Will Be Obsessed With It The atomic starburst silhouette is pure Mid-Century drama. A large center rhinestone creates an incredible focal point. Dozens of clear rhinestones make the entire brooch sparkle. The open geometric construction looks almost sculptural. A fabulous statement piece without being overwhelmingly large. Perfect for transforming a simple blazer, dress, or evening coat. Condition Good vintage condition with age-related wear visible to the silver-tone finish, including areas of discoloration, surface wear, and oxidation consistent with age. The rhinestones show varying degrees of age-related toning and mellowing rather than appearing uniformly bright white. The pin mechanism is present on the reverse.
