A striking example of mid-century elegance, this vintage Judy Lee brooch captures movement, depth, and rich emerald brilliance in a beautifully layered design. With sculptural dimension and thoughtful stone placement, this piece embodies the timeless sophistication Judy Lee collectors admire.
This layered spray-style brooch features vibrant emerald green rhinestones arranged in both round and navette cuts, creating a dynamic, flowing composition. At the focal point sits a round, prong-set stone designed as a floral bloom, framed by delicate petal-like metalwork. From there, navette-cut stones branch outward in a graceful leaf motif, giving the brooch its dimensional, cascading effect.
The setting is finished in a soft, pale gold-tone rather than a high-shine finish, lending the piece an understated elegance. The reverse reveals finely detailed leaf forms with visible rivet construction—an indicator of quality mid-century craftsmanship.
