Vintage clip-on brooch with white rhinestones and turquoise glass paste – USA, circa 1940

Published in Costume Jewelry by Brunialti, page 166

This charming clip-on brooch dating back to the 1940s is a rare and sought-after example of vintage American jewelry. The piece was selected and published in Brunialti's "Costume Jewelry" volume on page 166, a key reference for collectors and scholars.

Crafted in silver alloy, the brooch features a fluid and balanced design, embellished with large white rhinestones that vividly reflect the light, juxtaposed with turquoise glass paste elements, carefully crafted to mimic the effect of natural stone. This contrast between bright white and opaque blue creates a refined and distinctive play of colors, typical of the most creative and sophisticated jewelry of the period.

Measuring 8 cm x 7.5 cm, the brooch has an elegant yet understated presence, perfect for both formal and retro-inspired outfits. The clip closure, widely used during the period, ensures a secure fit even on thicker fabrics like wool, velvet, or textured silk.
