Vintage Blood-Red Marquis & Teardrop Glass Brooch – Layered Facets, Pointed Domes, Gold-Tone Setting

This exquisite vintage brooch is drenched in rich, blood-red brilliance — a fiery, sculptural piece built on dimensional faceted glass and striking silhouette work. The large oval and teardrop stones feature a dramatic pointed, domed cut, giving each gem a raised, almost jewel-box glow. Paired with elongated marquise navettes and standard navettes, the composition creates a cascading, leaf-like spray full of movement and saturation.

Crafted in warm gold-tone metal with fully intact prongs, this brooch offers a bold yet elegant presence. The pin mechanism is strong, secure, and smooth — a beautifully preserved piece ready for wear or display. Whether styled on a blazer, evening coat, scarf, or collected for its sculptural artistry, this is a standout addition to any curated vintage gallery.

Collector's Note

The pointed-dome faceting on the teardrop and oval stones is a hallmark of higher-grade mid-century costume artistry. Pieces with this cut and this level of color saturation are increasingly uncommon — especially in pristine condition. A perfect choice for collectors who gravitate toward bold, ruby-rich glass and sculptural stone arrangements.
