Vintage Floral Rhinestone Brooch

This item is a floral-themed brooch, likely costume jewelry given the visible construction and materials. It features a layered design, with a central cluster of lighter-colored, possibly opalescent or aurora borealis-coated, round and marquise-cut rhinestones forming the innermost part of a flower. Surrounding this center are two layers of darker, gray or smoky glass rhinestones, predominantly marquise-shaped, which create the outward petals. Scattered among these darker stones, particularly on the outer edge, are smaller, round, bright blue or aqua-colored rhinestones, adding a contrasting pop of color. The setting appears to be a dark-toned metal, possibly gunmetal or oxidized silver-tone, which provides a dark backdrop that enhances the sparkle of the stones. The stones are prong-set, and the overall construction suggests a manufactured piece from the mid-20th century, possibly 1950s-1960s, a popular era for elaborate rhinestone jewelry. There is no visible significant damage such as missing stones or bent prongs, though minor surface wear consistent with age and use, like light scratching on the metal or slight dullness of some stones, cannot be entirely ruled out from this image. The quality appears to be standard for vintage costume jewelry, with good craftsmanship in the setting of the numerous stones.
