Vintage Sterling Purple Rhinestone Brooch with Rose retailer Vermeil

retailer Vintage Sterling Purple Rhinestone Brooch with Rose Gold Vermeil

This charming brooch has a lovely rose gold vermeil finish over sterling. I would guess it was made in the 1930s or 1940s. The center stone is a large purple rectangle prong set on each corner. There is a row of medium size purple rhinestones across the top of the center stone. The brooch was designed to be worn with the two smaller purple rhinestones at the top as shown in the first and last pictures. There are several arms extending from the center stone that have a small purple rhinestone at the ends.

The brooch is in good vintage condition with some wear to the rose vermeil on the two scroll ends and on the back. The center stone has one very light scratch on the top on the lower left side that can only be seen under magnification.

Dimensions are:
Length (measured same direction as pin) : 2 3/4 inches
Height: 2 1/2 inches
Center Purple Stone: 1 inch by 3/4 inches
