Vintage Mid-Century Layered Rhinestone & Enamel Foliate Spray Brooch c. 1960s

A truly stunning piece of mid-century artistry, this unsigned "beauty" captures the exuberant style of the 1960s. The brooch is a dynamic, asymmetrical spray of brilliant glass rhinestones and painted enamel leaves, constructed in multiple layers to create breathtaking depth and dimension. A cascade of sapphire blue, emerald, and peridot green navette rhinestones swirl around a gracefully curved gold-tone tendril. The stones are set in open-back cups to maximize their fire and sparkle. Accenting the design are delicate, hand-painted chartreuse enamel leaves and tiny amethyst purple chatons, adding a perfect pop of contrasting color. This is a substantial, high-quality piece, perfect for adorning a coat lapel, dress, or scarf.
