Description

This vibrant vintage starburst brooch captures the bold, playful aesthetic of the 1950s and 60s costume jewelry era. Centered by a large fuchsia round-cut rhinestone, the piece radiates outward with a multi-layered arrangement of teal, lavender, and magenta stones. Four striking lime green navette rhinestones serve as the primary compass points, creating a dynamic “Atomic” silhouette characteristic of Mid-Century Modern design. The silver-tone setting is skillfully constructed with individual prong-mountings, ensuring both durability and a high-end finish. With its brilliant jewel tones and dimensional, tiered structure, this pin serves as a statement accessory that bridges the gap between retro charm and contemporary style. 

A classic “Starburst” or “Atomic” design featuring a layered, tiered arrangement of stones that gives it a 3D effect.
