DeLIzza & Elster loved navettes and used them copiously in their lighter handed pieces as leaves, petals, sprays, rays and accents. In the gold tone brooch presented four petals / panels swirl and undulate aglitter with chaton rhinestones in wonderful autumnal colors of brown topaz and burst orange each topped with a larger olivine green chaton rhinestone. Sweeping sprays at ends glow with olivine green navettes. As usual, D & E provides us with the style, substance, shades and sparkle we love. Once loved, always loved.

The brooch measures approximately 2 3/4 inches x 2 inches with a 3/8 inch profile or height. Navettes are about 15 millimeters x 4 millimeters; chatons 9 and 3 millimeters. Weight of the brooch is 24.9 grams.
