A breathtaking example of mid-century costume artistry, this signed ART brooch showcases the brand’s signature maximalist layering and regal, jewel-encrusted design. Crafted in rich gold-tone metal, the brooch features multiple sculpted tiers of stylized leaf, starburst, and filigree motifs, each raised to create depth, shadow, and dramatic dimensionality.
At the center, a cluster of turquoise glass cabochons and deep ruby-red rhinestones forms a vibrant geometric burst, radiating outward with striking balance. Faux seed pearls and sapphire-blue rhinestones accent the outermost points, adding soft luminosity and contrast. The overall effect is bold, ornate, and unmistakably luxurious — a piece that feels equally celestial, heraldic, and Renaissance-inspired.
Finished with the original rolling C-clasp and signed ART on the reverse, this brooch represents the brand’s finest era of detailed, sculptural costume jewelry. A collector-worthy statement for coats, blazers, eveningwear, or as a standout addition to a curated jewelry tray.
