Vintage Austria Clear Crystal Rhinestone Brooch – Emerald-Cut & Navette Stones, Mid-Century

A striking vintage Austrian crystal brooch with a large emerald-cut clear centre stone surrounded by an elegant symmetrical arrangement of sparkling marquise/navette and round faceted rhinestones.

Each stone is individually prong-set in a bright silver-tone setting, giving it a beautifully dimensional, almost Art Deco-inspired look.

About the origin: After the Second World War, Austria became one of Europe's great centres for costume jewellery, thanks to its world-famous crystal-cutting tradition. Pieces stamped "Austria" or "Made in Austria" were exported around the world in the 1950s and 1960s and are known for their bright, precisely cut stones.
