Vintage 1940s Art Deco Clear Rhinestone Swirl Brooch, Baguette, Marquise & Pavé

A study in motion — this brooch draws the eye through a sweeping spiral of channel-set baguettes, pavé rounds, and marquise rhinestones arranged in an open, ribbon-like composition. The layered design is characteristic of late Art Deco and early Retro costume jewelry, where geometric precision meets organic flourish. Unsigned but finely constructed, with the tight stone-setting and rhodium-toned base metal typical of quality American makers from the 1940s. Wears beautifully pinned to a lapel, a scarf, or the neckline of a dark dress.

Materials Silver-tone base metal, clear prong-set and channel-set glass rhinestones
