Art Deco Faceted Scissor Cut Imitation Emerald Clear Pave Rhinestone 5 Ring Silver-tone Bar Brooch




Art Deco Faceted Scissor Cut Imitation Emerald Clear Pave Rhinestone 5 Ring Silver-tone Bar Brooch
Materials and Features:
Art Deco Five Ring Architecture: A balanced, linear 3-inch bar design featuring five graduating rings. The reverse shows a precision stippled texture, a technical "hook" used to hide manufacturing marks in high-end mid-century casting.
Faceted Scissor Cut Focal: A centrally prong-set, emerald-green glass stone featuring a sophisticated scissor cut. This internal faceting was a diagnostic signature of high-end 1930's Bohemian glass production, designed to mimic the refraction of a genuine emerald.
Archival Open-Back Gallery: The central stone is housed in a professional open-back setting. This "Guts" feature maximizes light travel through the precision-cut glass, preventing the "deadening" effect seen in closed-back commodity pieces.
Weighted Boutique Casting: A substantial 7g weighted silver-tone frame. This density provides a metallurgical "heft" that prevents the bending and warping common in lightweight, stamped-tin "flooded market" alternatives.
Mechanical Integrity: Features a reliable standard roll-over safety catch with a high-tension pin-stem. The reverse hardware is flush-mounted, ensuring a secure, non-sagging fit on even delicate fabrics.
Age/Origin: 1930's - 1940's
