Vintage Circular Faux Pearl and Rhinestone Brooch

This is a circular, sunburst-style costume jewelry brooch, likely dating from the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1960s). The piece features a tiered, domed construction common in mid-century cocktail jewelry. At the center is a cluster of small clear chaton-cut rhinestones, which is surrounded by a ring of six larger, cream-colored faux pearls with a soft satiny finish. The outer perimeter is embellished with a decorative halo of clear rhinestones in varying sizes, predominantly round-cut. The base metal appears to be a gold-tone or silver-finished alloy, though the specific metal and any maker's marks are obscured by the angle of the photograph. The craftsmanship displays a typical vintage prong-set or glued arrangement. The overall condition appears fair to good; while all primary stones and pearls seem present, there is a visible dullness in some of the smaller rhinestones, suggesting possible foil backing degradation or surface grime. The pearls show a consistent luster, though high-magnification would be needed to check for nicks in the nacre coating. This style is characteristic of manufacturers like Trifari, Coro, or Lisner, and represents a classic 'Hollywood Regency' aesthetic.
