Kramer Crescent Cluster Rhinestone Brooch Pin Rhodium Plate

Rocks of ages with Kramer of New York. This company (considered by some to be among the "big four" in the vintage costume jewelry business) produced from circa 1942-1980. We remember it's aggressive campaign for the "Diamond Look" as well as collaborations with Frank Hess of Haskell and Amourelle fame and Christian Dior, the crowned king of the New Look.

The spectacular modified crescent shaped brooch presented, circa 1950s-1960, plated in lustrous platinum toned rhodium features huge headlight chaton rhinestones (augmented with a couple of dentelle faceted rounds) large marquises and a massive single rectangular cut rhinestone. Fillers include variously sized chatons. Every available space in Kramer's classic mid century masterpiece is shimmering with sparkle.

The brooch measures a generous approximate 2 3/4 inches x 1 3/4 inches at it's widest point with a maximum 5/8 inch profile or height. Rectangular rhinestone is about 18 millimeters x 13 millimeters; largest chaton, 15 millimeters; dentelles, 12 millimeters and marquises, 15 millimeters x 7 millimeters. Weight of the brooch is 28 grams.
