Double Sunburst Brooch Appraisal

Vintage Rhinestone Floral Double Sunburst Brooch

This is a vintage costume jewelry brooch featuring a double floral or sunburst motif. The design consists of two large flower heads atop curving stems, each adorned with two small leaves. The flower heads are composed of large, oval-shaped central stones surrounded by a halo of pointed marquise-cut clear rhinestones. The entire piece is set in a polished silver-tone metal, likely rhodium-plated base metal, which was common in mid-20th-century costume jewelry. The rhinestones are prong-set, showcasing a level of craftsmanship typical of the 1950s or 1960s. Regarding condition, the metal retains a bright luster, though there appears to be some slight dulling or 'graying' in a few of the stones, particularly the smoky-toned leaf accents and parts of the left flower head, which may indicate aging of the foil backing. There are no visibly missing stones or broken prongs from the primary view. The piece measures approximately 2 to 3 inches in height. It carries the aesthetic of established manufacturers like Trifari or Eisenberg, though no signature is visible in this orientation.
