Vintage Juliana Topaz Gray Rhinestone Figural Sun Flower Brooch IIJJ#4518

This impressive vintage Juliana (DeLizza & Elster) sunflower brooch is a dramatic oversized flower design, measuring approximately 4.7 inches long. A large smoky gray dentelle-cut rhinestone forms the flower's center, surrounded by brilliant clear chatons and a full radiating circle of navette rhinestones in two warm shades of topaz. The warm gold-tone setting adds richness to the sculptural design.

Two smaller flower accents travel down the long stem, combining golden topaz navettes, clear aurora borealis (AB) chatons and bright topaz centers. Tiny riveted florettes and a rhinestone-set stem give this brooch remarkable detail. The construction includes distinctive wire-over accents and a wire-supported stem.
