Lot #143: Vintage Mid-Century Ruby Red Rhinestone Snowflake Burst Brooch

A striking piece of mid-century costume jewelry, this vintage starburst or snowflake brooch makes a bold statement with its rich, vibrant palette. The tiered, dimensional design features a layered arrangement of deep ruby red glass rhinestones that catch and refract the light beautifully. The center layer is constructed with large, faceted navette (marquise-cut) stones radiating outward to form a floral or snowflake cluster. Peeking out from beneath the primary layer are extended gold-tone prongs, each accented by graduated, round-cut ruby rhinestones that add exceptional depth and a sense of movement to the geometric burst design. Every stone is securely held in place by classic, heavy multi-prong settings. Pickup category timeslot {A}
