This sparkling mid-century brooch features a distinctive curved open oval form densely set with round Aurora Borealis rhinestones in graduated sizes. The stones flash shifting shades of aqua, lavender, pink, champagne, gold and pale green, creating the multicolor iridescence associated with classic 1950s AB rhinestone jewelry. Rather than lying completely flat, the brooch has a pronounced curved, dimensional profile. The graduated rhinestones follow the sweeping oval form, while the open center allows the fabric beneath to become part of the design. The stones are individually set into a substantial silver-tone setting with an irregular softly scalloped perimeter. Aurora Borealis rhinestones became especially fashionable during the mid-1950s, bringing dramatic rainbow sparkle to cocktail and evening jewelry. The combination of the AB stones, dimensional construction and older pin hardware is consistent with a circa 1950s attribution. The brooch is unsigned. Why You Will Be Obsessed With It The Aurora Borealis rhinestones flash incredible rainbow color. The curved construction gives it wonderful dimension when worn. The open oval silhouette makes this more unusual than a traditional rhinestone brooch. Graduated stones create concentrated sparkle and texture. It delivers glamorous 1950s impact in an easy-to-wear size. Condition Good vintage condition with age-related wear to the silver-tone setting, including oxidation, darkening and surface wear most apparent on the reverse and around the stone settings. The rhinestones retain beautiful Aurora Borealis color and sparkle while showing the variation and age expected of older stones. The pin stem and catch are intact and functional. Please review the photographs closely as they form part of the condition description. Measurements Approximately 1.5 inches across, or approximately 3.8 cm, based on the photographed penny for scale. The curved dimensional construction gives the brooch more presence when worn than its petite measurement might suggest. Most items are shipped in a cotton filled jewelry presentation box.
