Vintage Pale Yellow & Topaz Navette Leaf Brooch – Open-Back Rhinestones, Gold-Tone Stem

A breathtaking vintage leaf brooch shimmering in a palette of pale lemon-yellow, soft citrine, and warm topaz navette rhinestones. The color story is ethereal — the navettes appear almost translucent, catching the light with a delicate golden glow rather than a true green, giving the entire piece a radiant, sunlit quality.

Nestled among the topaz navettes are two sparkling peridot-green accent stones, placed centrally to add a subtle pop of contrast. The brooch is designed in a flowing botanical silhouette reminiscent of a curved tropical leaf or banana frond, with beautiful dimension and a gentle dome that elevates its presence on the fabric.

The gold-tone stem features textured detailing, adding richness and authenticity to the design. The back shows clean open-back settings, allowing the stones to glow from every angle. Excellent vintage condition with a secure pin and pin stop.
