Brooch Hematite Peekaboo Dangle
ITEM: This beautiful brooch is high quality, rhinestone jewelry that's really a cut above. Such a variety of available styles, stones and designs from yesteryear that has created a wide fan base of eager collectors of costume jewelry and it's easy to see why! Depth, dimension, detail, heft, quality materials and high end finish work. This one is a part of a larger set of designs using the hematite and clear rhinestones and scrolling wirework that sometimes look like little hearts! The shape is a Diamond with an open center in which a larger, tear drop stone dangles, pendulum like, in a peekaboo style of design. Framing that filigree capped dangle are a row of sparkling clear rhinestones, prong set and foiled at back, adding to the twinkling goodness. At bottom are an array of navette or skinny marquis cut stones in hematite grey. These hematite rhinestones are glass and have a black to grey color tone with mirror finish. They add some drama to the mix! This chevron of navette s is framed in by those brilliant clears but here, they end with a floret on either side. Just another detail of design at the level high end makers are known for. The top of the brooch features a three point array with a mid sized chaton of brilliantly sparkling clear tones is crown set and sits flanked by a smaller version to either side. From that top most arrangement the wire work begins. Little curls or spirals create a wave like descent towards the widest point of the diamond. Where each scroll ends, a tiny, twinkling clear stone is set atop and between. This is high end costume jewelry. No doubt about it! The whole brooch is convex or domed, gently pushing out at the center, allowing the drop crystal to swing, peekaboo style, rocking to and fro, in and out of the rhinestone framed center, adding a touch of kinetic movement to the mix. The metals are silver toned and look to be rhodium plated. Visually stunning, the brooch is incredibly detailed, stylish as can be and of obvious retailer good make. Unsigned on the back perhaps - but clearly upper end make. Just in case; I Researched the Juliana database and found similar looks however certain construction traits are different, so I don't think it's Juliana. Still very nice though!
