Mid-Century Layered Clear Rhinestone Burst Brooch – Silvertone Radiance

A stunning example of mid-century glamour, this layered rhinestone burst brooch captures the sophistication and artistry of the 1950s–1960s jewelry era. Crafted in brilliant silvertone metal, the piece features a sculptural, multi-tiered design that rises upward like an unfolding metallic petal — each layer meticulously set with clean, clear, brilliant rhinestones.

The rhinestones are remarkably bright, prong-set, and full of life with no yellowing or dullness. The outer halo sparkles with a perfect circle of stones, while the inner cluster rises in dimension, creating that dramatic domed silhouette collectors adore. The back reveals riveted stone cups — a hallmark of higher-quality vintage construction — allowing the stones to breathe while adding strength and longevity.

Elegant, radiant, and impeccably preserved, this brooch is a standout piece for anyone who appreciates true vintage craftsmanship.
