Vintage 1950s Atomic Star Snowflake Brooch, Amethyst Purple Rhinestone Pin 1.15"

Step into the glamorous world of mid-century fashion with this beautiful vintage 1950s Space Age atomic star snowflake brooch. Masterfully struck with gorgeous dimensional symmetry, this sparkling holiday-ready pin makes a phenomenal statement accent on a winter coat, cardigan, or a curated addition to an estate costume jewelry collection.
The layered structure features an exquisite, heavy gold-tone die-struck casting that splits into an impressive, rare 8-point octagonal snowflake spoke design tipped with classic fleur-de-lis flourishes. Nestled in the heart of the starburst is a large, deep amethyst-purple prong-set glass rhinestone that reflects a mesmerizing violet sparkle.
Measuring a dainty and highly wearable 1.15 inches in diameter, the eight outer accent points are built with open-back foil mountings, each inlaid with a bright, faceted clear crystal rhinestone to simulate the natural, icy magic of a snowflake. The reverse is fitted with a highly secure, era-authentic rolling safety clasp mounted on a flush structural crossbar. This unsigned boutique treasure is an exceptional, high-character gift for retro kitsch collectors, winter apparel stylists, or holiday jewelry curators.

Condition Report:
Excellent vintage condition with outstanding cosmetic and structural integrity. The gold-tone plating across both the front and rear starburst frame is exceptionally bright, uniform, and reflective, showing no heavy tarnish patina, deep scratches, or green oxidation corrosion. Crucially, all stones are completely original, intact, and firmly set; the central deep amethyst purple stone is beautifully transparent, and the clear stones retain an immaculate, brilliant white light reflection. The rear pin stem is perfectly straight, and the rollover safety locking clasp operates smoothly and snaps together tightly for a secure, worry-free wear.
