Vintage Rhinestone Dancer Brooch – Golden Topaz & Amber Cabochon in Gold Tone

This exquisite vintage dancer brooch embodies the elegance and movement of mid-century costume jewelry. Designed in radiant gold-tone metal, the figure’s sweeping skirt is composed of multiple articulated rhinestone rows that shimmer with every gesture, perfectly capturing the illusion of motion.

A rich amber cabochon forms the dancer’s head, surrounded by a halo of light topaz stones, while teardrop and marquise rhinestones accent the arms and bodice. The construction — with individually hinged rows and detailed prong-set stones — reflects the quality craftsmanship of 1950s–1960s high-end costume design, reminiscent of pieces attributed to designers such as DeLizza & Elster or Judy Lee.

The reverse shows a bright gold-tone finish with a secure pin clasp and excellent articulation. This is a collectible statement brooch that celebrates both form and fluidity — a miniature sculpture in rhinestone artistry.
