While the brooch is unmarked, its construction style shares similarities with high-end mid-century makers like DeLizza & Elster (Juliana) or Western German designs. Vintage cluster brooch adorned with multi-shaped faceted glass rhinestones and crystals in warm tones of amber, topaz, citrine, and pale yellow. No hallmark. 2 x 2.5”. Excellent condition. * Open-Back Construction: Having an unbacked, unfoiled setting ("open back") is a key indicator of quality costume jewelry. It allows light to pass directly through the stones, magnifying their color and brilliance. * Large, Fancy-Cut Glass Stones: The use of multiple oversized, varied shapes—such as the large oval, emerald cut, and teardrop stones—rather than standard small round rhinestones significantly raises its collectibility. * Condition: The stones are very clear and crisp, with no noticeable flea bites, scratching, or discoloration commonly found in vintage pieces. While the brooch is unmarked, its construction style shares similarities with high-end mid-century makers like DeLizza & Elster (Juliana) or Western German designs. The textured, crimped metal tabs holding the stones are known as dog-tooth prongs(or "pie-crust" prongs). Instead of standard thin wire claws, these prongs fold broadly over the edges of the rhinestones, acting as both structural supports and decorative framing elements. The "Unsigned" Designer Mystery: Premium mid-century American fashion brands like Schreiner, Regency, and Hollycraft regularly produced spectacular, heavy crystal clusters using this exact combination of a safety clasp on a smooth, flat-plate backing. Many of these lines were left unsigned because they were sold on paper cards or created exclusively as unbranded wholesale stock for elite department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue or Marshall Field's. Condition: Pre-owned - Excellent. Category: Jewelry & Watches › Vintage & Antique Jewelry › Brooches & Pins. Brand: Unbranded.
