Step into true mid-century glamour with this breathtaking smoky lava glass floral spray brooch, crafted in richly plated silver-tone metal with intricate filigree and layered construction. This dimensional piece features dramatic smoky navette stones, sparkling clear chatons, fiery aurora borealis blooms, and rare lava-style art glass marquises that add depth and texture.
The brooch is beautifully engineered: floral sprays and leafy tendrils arc out from a filigree center, each blossom tipped with high-sparkle AB stones that flash blue, gold, violet, and green. The back showcases classic mid-century open-rivet construction and ornate filigree work, a hallmark of quality rhinestone pieces from the 1950s–1960s.
Elegant, moody, and collectible — this is a true gallery-level brooch for lovers of sophisticated vintage sparkle.

Collector's Note
This piece is a standout example of 1950s–60s rhinestone artistry. The combination of smoky navettes, AB blooms, and lava-textured glass stones is highly sought after, especially in silver-tone settings with this level of filigree detail. The open-rivet back and layered construction place it firmly in the mid-century era, not contemporary or 1980s.
Perfect for evening wear, winter coats, black blazers, or as a focal point in a curated mid-century brooch collection.
