Austria Rhinestone Mesh Chain Marbled Glass Drop Dangle Brooch Pin

Spectacular in every way, the 1950s era Austrian brooch presented offers all the bells and whistles of vintage costume jewelry. Multiple overlays of two sizes of marquise rhinestones in peridot green and Colorado topaz shimmer under a golden crescent and tail set with peridot chaton rhinestones. Larger peridot rhinestones accent overlays. The fun continues with a rigid circle of three strands of golden chain crisscrossing each with two free falling strands culminating at top with a pair of marbled green glass drops and at bottom with larger graduated lengths of marbled glass drops. All drops feature golden splayed caps. The quality of Austrian pieces is well known but it is rare to see this degree of excellence in design, materials and workmanship.

The brooch measures (from top to bottom of longest drop) 3 1/4 inches x 2 1/8 inches at it's widest point with a maximum 5/8 profile or height. Larger marquise rhinestones are about 15 millimeters x 7 millimeters; largest chaton rhinestones, 4 millimeters and larger marble glass drops, 18 millimeters x 10 millimeters. Weight of the brooch is 27.3 grams.
