Bring luminous mid-century magic to your collection with this extraordinary vintage brooch featuring rare dragon’s breath art glass cabochons, fiery topaz AB rhinestones, and a beautifully detailed gold-tone floral filigree frame. The design is rich, dimensional, and full of movement — a true statement piece for collectors of premium vintage costume jewelry.
At the center are high-domed iridescent dragon’s breath cabochons that flash lavender, copper, gold, and hints of blue — the classic “fire opal” effect prized by collectors. Surrounding them are faceted topaz AB stones, root-beer marbled glass cabochons, and sparkling clear accent rhinestones set at every flower tip along the outer frame. The entire brooch glows with warmth, color, and depth.
Beautifully constructed with a substantial almond-shaped silhouette, this brooch features layered glass, ornate floral scrollwork, and a secure pinback with a slightly extended pin — a hallmark of mid-century quality. All stones are glass and prong-set.
This is a striking, heirloom-grade piece — perfect for collectors, evening wear, or anyone wanting a dramatic, luminous brooch that commands attention.
