A luminous mid-century brooch ablaze with fiery aurora borealis brilliance. This dimensional domed design features tightly layered prong-set rhinestones in rich amber, topaz, and golden citrine tones, each flashing iridescent highlights of violet, teal, and green under the light. The circular build rises in graduated tiers, creating a jeweled, crown-like form that stands off the garment with sculptural presence.
Set in rich gold-tone metal with a secure rollover safety clasp, this piece is exceptionally well-preserved — no darkened stones, no replacements, no visible wear to the metal. A true mid-century showpiece, ideal for evening wear, bridal glam, fall styling, or elevating a classic blazer or winter coat with a bold jewel-tone accent.

Collector's Note
Layered domed brooches were among the most coveted statement jewels of the 1950s–60s, worn on structured dresses, fur collars, opera coats, and cocktail jackets. Amber AB stones are more scarce than clear or pastel AB pieces, making this an especially desirable colorway for collectors, autumn bridal designers, and vintage stylists.
