An elaborate vintage rhinestone spray brooch attributed to Juliana by DeLizza & Elster. Branching silver-tone stems form an ornate asymmetrical flourish accented with clear rhinestones and darker aurora borealis stones that reflect shades of blue, violet, green, and gold.
Graduated floral clusters and curled rhinestone tendrils give the brooch a dimensional, layered appearance characteristic of glamorous 1960s costume jewelry. Please note: four small rhinestones are missing from one of the upper scrolling sections, making this best suited for restoration, harvesting replacement stones, display, or wearing as found.
