Large Layered Blue Rhinestone Brooch Pin

Size and color collide in the big blue brooch presented, circa 1950s-1960s. In silver tone, the layered brooch is a swirl of cobalt blue marquise rhinestones mixed with a smattering of aurora borealis chaton rhinestones. Top tier features a rosette with marquises positioned at angles for dynamic dimension and drama.

The brooch is a generous approximate 4 inches x 1 3/4 inches at it's widest point with a maximum 1/2 inch profile or height. Marquises are about 15 millimeters x 7 millimeters; center ab chaton, 6 millimeters and peripheral chatons, 4 millimeters. Weight of the brooch is 36.8 grams.

Condition is excellent vintage. All components original and intact. All rhinestones free from chips, nicks, cracks or breaks. All secure within pronged settings. Colors and select treatments, as well as brilliance, intact. No dents or improper bends to metal components. Silver tone finish intact, front and back. There are a number of solder puddles on the top side of brooch you may see in some images. These were part of the manufacturing process -- not later corrections or repairs. Though not as hidden or neat as we would like these characteristics, the brooch's overall presentation is quite spectacular. Pin shaft has some slight bends not affecting function. Solder puddling and shaft bend notations are reflected in price. Clean. No damage / no repairs. Excellent vintage.

The brooch is not signed. Circa 1950s-1960s.
