1950s Hattie Carnegie Chandelier Crystal Orb Vintage Crown Pearl Brooch

This massive chandelier brooch is made of clear crystals, large pearls, and rhinestone orbs. The brooch is unsigned but this was a Hattie Carnegie book design. The top has a silver rhodium setting w Austrian crystals in a crown shape. The design features large faceted chatons & faceted pear cuts. All of the crystals are prong set. The crown has excellent quality old Austrian lead crystals with spectacular brilliance and diamond like faceting. The 6 hollow glass pearls are 3/8" up to 5/8" wide. The large RS orb is about the size of a cherry tomato, or 7/8" wide! The 2 smaller RS orbs are marble size or 1/2" wide. This stupendous creation is 3 3/4" long x 1 3/8" wide at the top. The brooch is in fabulous well cared for condition. There are no scratches or imperfections on the pearls. The silver metal loop wires are clean and bright. The RS orbs are perfect. All of the rhinestones are prong set, sparkling, and all are present with no chips or scratches. The silver rhodium is perfect both front and back and all of the prongs are perfect with no wear. Under high magnification one of the small chatons on the far left of the crown has a slight grey tint. Some scant, light cloudiness at the backs of some of the crystals on the crown; 2 of the small on far left have a slight grey tint. A few very tiny light scratches on a few of the pearls- not visible to the naked eye. All of this is to be expected as normal w/ age and gentle handling.
