A dramatic mid-century statement brooch featuring a luminous striped green art-glass center stone surrounded by a radiant burst of champagne, olive, and crystal rhinestones. Designed in the glamorous couture tradition of the 1950s and early 1960s, this piece captures the era’s love of bold scale, sculptural form, and extraordinary sparkle.
At the heart of the brooch is a rare layered green cabochon with a striking “cat’s-eye” effect, shifting from deep forest green to translucent jade as it catches the light. The surrounding navette and marquise-cut stones create a starburst silhouette that gives the piece both movement and dramatic presence. Each stone is individually set into a richly gold-plated mount, giving the brooch impressive depth, weight, and dimension.
