Vintage Emerald Navette & Aurora Borealis Rhinestone Spray Brooch – Large Mid-Century Statement

A spectacular burst of mid-century glamour, this vintage rhinestone brooch is both dramatic in scale and exquisite in detail. Measuring an impressive 3½ inches wide by 2½ inches high, the brooch is designed in a layered spray motif, shimmering with deep emerald-green navettes and accented by sparkling round aurora borealis rhinestones in luminous baby-blue tones. At its center rests a larger sapphire-blue AB stone, catching the light with an iridescent brilliance.

The dimensional construction, open-back navette settings, and riveted leafy frame are hallmarks of designer-quality work from the 1950s–1960s. Though unsigned, the craftsmanship is highly consistent with the celebrated style of Juliana/DeLizza & Elster, known for their bold use of navettes and aurora borealis accents. This is a brooch made to turn heads — whether worn on a lapel, gown, or as part of a collector’s display.
