Vintage Corocraft Gold-Tone Sunburst Brooch

This is a vintage Corocraft brooch featuring a distinctive Mid-Century Modern 'sunburst' or 'atomic' design. The piece is constructed from a gold-toned base metal, likely a gold-plated costume alloy typical of the 1950s or 1960s. The design is highly dimensional, consisting of a central cluster of coiled, textured wires arranged in a spiral pattern, radiating outward into numerous smooth, curved cylindrical rods. Each rod terminates in a flattened, circular end, creating a dynamic sense of movement and depth. The finish is a bright yellow gold-tone that exhibits varying textures, from the high-polish tips to the ribbed center. In terms of condition, the brooch shows signs of age-appropriate wear. There is visible surface scratching on the flat end-caps of the rods and some minor pitting or oxidation consistent with vintage costume jewelry. The gold plating remains largely intact, though some thinning may be present in recessed areas. While the maker's mark 'Corocraft' is not visible in the front-facing view, it is typically located on the reverse side on a rectangular cartouche or directly stamped. The craftsmanship is indicative of Coro’s higher-end line, featuring robust construction and a complex, multi-layered assembly. This style represents the futuristic aesthetic of the post-war era, popularized by high-end costume jewelry manufacturers.
