This charming petite brooch centers on two beautifully faceted heart-shaped orange glass stones that glow from golden honey to fiery orange as they catch the light. The hearts are surrounded by four round pale yellow rhinestones, creating a sparkling jewel-cluster design in a warm gold-tone setting. The large heart stones are open backed, allowing light to travel through the transparent glass and intensify their rich orange color. Each stone is individually prong set, giving the piece the dimensional construction and hand-finished appearance associated with better mid-century costume jewelry. The brooch is unsigned.
