This vintage mid-century brooch, dating to the 1950s–early 1960s, captures the glamour and precision craftsmanship that defined the era’s finest costume jewelry. Designed in a softly domed wreath form, the brooch features a continuous ring of pink givré navette stones, each displaying the signature internal mist and luminous depth that makes givré glass so highly collectible.
Interspersed between the navettes are clear round rhinestones, adding brilliance and contrast while enhancing the overall symmetry. The stones are set in confident, well-formed prongs, allowing light to pass freely through the glass and creating a radiant, dimensional effect from every angle.
Finished in a rich gold-tone setting, the brooch has a sculptural presence without heaviness—an intentional, couture-style design characteristic of mid-century statement jewelry. This is a piece that feels refined, deliberate, and unmistakably vintage.
