Vintage Black Navette Aurora Borealis Rhinestone Brooch Gold Tone Swirl Pin 52mm

Description

View Vintage Black Navette Aurora Borealis Rhinestone Brooch Gold Tone Swirl Pin 52mm with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The piece is unsigned, which is normal for this category - many of the finest mid-century rhinestone brooches carry no mark. A high-quality unsigned mid-century brooch in the manner of the better American houses: a curling crescent of jet-black faceted navette stones wrapped around a dense ribbon of aurora borealis rhinestones. The contrast is what makes it - flat matte black against the pink-and-green fire of the AB coating, all in gold-tone open-back prong settings so light passes through the stones from behind. The stones are hand-set, not glued, and the piece is built up in tiers so it stands proud of the fabric rather than lying flat. This is the construction collectors look for in unsigned Juliana-style and Weiss-style pieces.
