Rhinestone Star Brooch

This item is a dazzling star-shaped brooch, likely crafted from a base metal with a gold-tone finish, adorned with numerous faceted rhinestones. The brooch features a prominent central round-cut rhinestone, which appears larger and more brilliant than the surrounding stones. Radiating from this central stone are five points, forming a classic star silhouette. Each point and the frame of the star are encrusted with smaller, clear rhinestones, some of which appear round, while others are pear-shaped or marquise-cut, particularly at the tips of the star points. The setting for the rhinestones seems to be individual prong or bezel settings, contributing to the overall sparkle. The metalwork exhibits a somewhat textured or granular surface, suggesting a vintage aesthetic. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures from the provided image. The condition appears to be relatively good, with all rhinestones seemingly intact, though some may exhibit minor age-related dullness or slight discoloration of the metal finish, consistent with costume jewelry of an earlier era. The overall impression is one of festive elegance, typical of mid-20th century costume jewelry. The craftsmanship, while not fine jewelry grade, indicates attention to detail in the stone placement to maximize reflectivity. The brooch would have been designed as an accent piece for clothing, such as a lapel, scarf, or hat, adding a touch of glamour.
