Large Layered Rhinestone Shield Brooch Pin

Lightweight riveted rhinestone brooches piled high with sparkling rhinestones were specialties of both Judy Lee and Beau Jewels. Often, brooches were sold with matching earrings and typically some brooches were not signed. The mid century shield shaped brooch presented uses similar construction methods with an array of chaton, marquise, navette, pear and briolette cuts in shades of green and a center chaton in aurora borealis.
Stones are riveted onto gold tone arms reaching up and out to fully appreciate their colors and brilliance. A small filigree cover plate on reverse is riveted to the center of the pin bar.

The brooch measures nearly 3 inches (2 7/8 inches) x 2 1/8 inches with a maximum 5/8 inch profile or height. Long navettes are about 23 millimeters x 7 millimeters; marquises, 15 millimeters x 7 millimeters, briolette pear, 15 millimeters x 11 millimeters and center ab chaton, 11 millimeters. Weight of the brooch is 25.6 grams.
