Item Details

  • Blue Leaf & Rhinestone Brooch: A rectangular gold-tone piece featuring delicate light blue enamel leaves interspersed with shimmering round and marquise-cut rhinestones in shades of aquamarine and aurora borealis.

  • Green Crystal Butterfly: A whimsical butterfly pin composed of vibrant peridot-green marquise stones and shimmering aurora borealis accents. The wings are outlined with fine gold-tone wire work, giving it a light, airy appearance.

  • Maltese Cross Art Glass Brooch: A statement-making architectural piece featuring a large, central amber art glass cabochon. It is surrounded by deep sapphire blue fluted glass "petals," smaller citrine-colored stones, and lime green rhinestone accents.

  • Condition: All three pieces are in good vintage condition. The pin mechanisms are functional. There is some light patina and age-appropriate wear to the gold-tone finishes on the reverse, consistent with vintage jewelry.

  • Dimensions: Approximately 2 to 3 inches each.
