Rhinestone Cluster Brooch

This is a vintage-style circular brooch, approximately 1 inch in diameter as indicated by the context, weighing 9 grams according to the digital scale shown. The brooch features a prominent cluster design, rich in detail, with a gold-tone metal base. The design is comprised of interwoven or braided metalwork forming a knot-like or three-lobed floral pattern, with each lobe densely encrusted with small, round, colorless rhinestones. These rhinestones are brilliant-cut, suggesting they are designed to maximize sparkle. There are no obvious missing stones, and they appear to be uniformly set, likely using prong or pavé settings, although the exact setting type is difficult to ascertain without a closer view. The metalwork exhibits a slightly aged or antiqued gold finish, which adds depth to the piece. The overall condition appears good with no visible signs of significant damage like bends, breaks, or extensive tarnish on the metal. Given the style and materials, it is likely a piece of costume jewelry from the mid-20th century, possibly dating from the 1940s to the 1970s. The craftsmanship suggests mass production, typical of fashion jewelry from that era, but it maintains a classic and elegant aesthetic. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible from the provided images.
