Vintage Atomic Starburst Austrian Crystal Brooch | Aqua Blue & Clear Rhinestones

A spectacular vintage atomic starburst brooch featuring brilliant aquamarine-blue and sparkling clear rhinestones in a striking mid-century design!

This dazzling piece showcases a vibrant round aqua-blue center stone surrounded by a radiant explosion of individually prong-set crystals. Seven elongated marquise-cut rhinestones in vivid turquoise-blue alternate with delicate sprays of clear round crystals, creating a beautifully balanced, multidimensional starburst.

The intricate gold-tone wire construction gives the brooch an airy, sculptural quality, with each rhinestone extending outward from the center like rays of light. The combination of brilliant blue crystals, sparkling clear stones, and warm gold-tone metal perfectly captures the exuberant glamour of the 1950s and 1960s atomic age.

The reverse reveals the wonderful construction of this piece, with individually mounted rhinestone settings and radiating metal stems secured to a central backing. Finished with a traditional pin closure.
