A breathtaking vintage Austrian brooch featuring a lush cluster of multi-green rhinestones — including glowing uranium glass stones that illuminate beautifully under UV light. Arranged in a dimensional domed silhouette, this piece captures the richness and craftsmanship Austria is known for: saturated color, layered sparkle, and intricate metal detailing.
Gold-tone sculpted leaves are interwoven throughout the design, adding texture, depth, and a natural botanical elegance. Signed AUSTRIA on the reverse, this brooch reflects premium mid-century European construction with prong-set stones, a high-quality dome, and exceptional clarity throughout.
A standout collector’s piece with stunning radiance and rare green tonal variation — from chartreuse to peridot to deep olive — making it both sophisticated and visually dynamic.
