Vintage star brooch with rhinestones, silver-tone metal, retro costume jewelry accessory

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description Vintage five-pointed star-shaped brooch, adorned with faceted clear rhinestones, pavé-set on each point and enhanced with a larger central stone. The piece is mounted on a silver-toned metal-look structure, giving it a refined and luminous sparkle. This costume jewelry stands out for its retro style, evoking fashion accessories from past decades.

The brooch features a harmonious composition, with each point entirely covered in round-cut rhinestones. The center is highlighted by a cut circular rhinestone, which intensely catches the light. The regular arrangement of the elements creates a dynamic shimmering effect under natural lighting, accentuating the elegance of the piece.

The object, photographed on a yellow velvet cushion, emphasizes the cool brilliance of the rhinestones and the silver-toned finish. No logo, brand, or inscription is visible on the front. The brooch's structure appears solid and well-preserved, with a discreet fastening on the back (not visible in the photo, not described).

The overall style of this jewelry recalls mid-20th century costume creations, with a design evoking the 1950s to 1970s with its star motif and extensive use of clear rhinestones. This brooch, thanks to its star shape and brilliance, can easily be paired with formal or vintage outfits.

The visible surface shows no major defects: all rhinestones appear to be present and well-secured, the apparent structure is uniform, with no notable oxidation or tarnish in the photographed area. Some micro-scratches or slight signs of wear may remain, typical of vintage jewelry.

Condition Used item, sold as is. Shows slight signs of wear consistent with the age and nature of the jewelry.

Did you know? Rhinestones, invented in the 18th century by Georges Frédéric Strass, became a staple of European costume jewelry. Their success exploded in the 1950s-1970s, a period when this type of ornate brooch, often in the shape of a star or flower, accompanied evening wear and haute couture accessories.
