Description

This is a striking, vintage-inspired statement brooch featuring a vibrant, multi-tonal aesthetic. Its bold design and “oil slick” color palette give it a dramatic, mystical feel.

Design Details

• Central Stone: The centerpiece is a large, emerald-cut crystal featuring a “Vitrail Medium” or dichroic finish. It shifts through a spectrum of vivid greens, deep purples, and electric blues depending on the light.

• Accent Stones: * Flanking the center are two square-cut stones with a similar iridescent finish.

• The outer border is encrusted with small, circular aurora borealis (AB) rhinestones that provide a continuous shimmer.

• Metalwork: The stones are set in an antique-finish brass or bronze-tone metal, which provides a muted, rustic contrast to the brilliant colors of the crystals.

• Shape: The brooch has a softened rectangular or octagonal silhouette, measuring approximately 1.5 inches in height (based on the scale of the US penny).

Style & Aesthetic

This piece leans into the maximalist and Bohemian styles. It would serve as a powerful focal point on a blazer lapel, a heavy knit scarf, or even pinned to the waist of a dress. Its dark metal and jewel tones make it particularly well-suited for evening wear or autumnal wardrobes.
