Vintage Fall Jewel-Toned Leaf Brooch – Open-Back Navettes in Root Beer, Avocado, & Topaz

A spectacular vintage leaf brooch bursting with deep autumnal tones — rich root beer brown, warm topaz orange, bright tangerine accents, and lush avocado green. The entire piece is sculpted from open-back navette rhinestones, allowing the light to pass through and ignite each stone from within.

The brooch is beautifully domed, creating a dimensional layered effect that mimics the natural curl of a leaf or a botanical pod. The base is a heavy, high-quality gold-tone metal that feels luxurious and substantial in the hand — exactly the kind of craftsmanship collectors crave.

Brilliant round rhinestones in fiery orange and tangerine cluster along the stem and center, adding vibrant pops of color that elevate the entire composition. Every stone is clean, bright, and secure in its prongs. This piece is unmistakably mid-century and absolutely stunning for fall styling.
