Vintage Aurora Borealis Starburst Brooch – Layered Radiance in Gold-Tone

Illuminate your collection with this dazzling mid-century starburst brooch, a true celebration of vintage glamour.

Designed in radiant gold-tone metal, the piece bursts outward in a layered, domed form, set with brilliant round and rectangular Aurora Borealis rhinestones that shimmer in every hue of light.

The reverse features riveted settings typical of high-quality 1950s–1960s craftsmanship, paired with a secure 1-inch pin back. Substantial in presence yet refined in design, this brooch is a statement of elegance that radiates from every angle.
