Fabulous Large Plump 1930's Sapphire Blue Rhinestone Floral Brooch

This exceptional floral brooch has the quality you can expect from a top jewelry house of the 1930s, yet is unsigned. The brooch is beautifully designed and constructed, with a riveted, layered silvery pot meal setting featuring six large (7/8") faceted unfoiled blue glass ovals prong-set openback, centered with a floret of pave crystal rhinestones. The beauty of these stones is overwhelming--the color of the oval stones are a true sapphire blue. The leaves are textured and enameled green. At 4 1/4"tall and 2 3/4" wide, this is a big heavy brooch. It will definitely weigh down a light fabric, so pin it into a bra strap or slip if you wear it with a light blouse or dress. Otherwise, this is what they used to call a "coat brooch," because women wore them on their coats or jackets. But you could use it to pin together that stylish sash, or to decorate your bag. With this brooch and your smile, you'll feel like a million dollars. Very Good condition, with wear to high points on the enamel. $72

Large 1930s Pave Rhinestone Iris Pot Metal Brooch

Made in the art deco era, this circa 1930 pot metal iris offers a tropical deco design--the wild undulations, while curvy, still have a linear Art Deco deco arrangement. My heart beats fast every time I see this Book Piece beauty. Featured on page 74 of the 2008 Edition of Warman's Vintage Jewelry, by Leigh Leshner, this incredible design features pave clear crystals set in textured and beaded metal. This one's a little different than the same style of brooches shown in the same book on page 122. For one thing, some of the rhinestones are prong set--on a row icing the top of the brooch and on the florets at 5 O'clock and 7 o'clock. Also, this brooch is taller at 3 3/4", and willowy at 2 1/8" at the widest point. This example is in especially nice Very Good+ condition, with rhinestones still sparkling and pot metal smooth, still shining and without corrosion. Only the prong-set stones are slightly dark around the edges, but still strike sparks in the centers. Enjoy this desirable, hard- to find, dazzling showgirl beauty! $85
