Vintage Rhinestone Starburst Pendant
$50.00
Vintage Pendant with Rhinestones. Measures about 1.5" in height. Very good condition. No chain.
Capture the essence of mid-century elegance with this stunning vintage starburst pendant. Measuring approximately 1.5 inches in height, this piece is a quintessential example of the "Golden Age" of costume jewelry, where high-fashion aesthetics were made accessible through exceptional craftsmanship. The pendant features a radiant array of clear, brilliant-cut rhinestones, each meticulously held in place by warm, gold-tone prongs. This combination of icy sparkle and golden metalwork was a hallmark of 1950s and 60s evening wear, designed to mimic the high-jewelry look of diamonds set in yellow gold. The tiered, sunburst silhouette provides a sense of depth and movement, ensuring the piece catches the light from every angle.
This pendant is in very good condition, with the gold-tone plating remaining bright with minimal wear and the rhinestones retaining their original clarity and fire. While it is offered without a chain, this gives you the freedom to customize its look—pair it with a simple gold snake chain for a "mid-century modern" professional look, or slide it onto a black silk cord for a "dark academia" inspired ensemble. Its classic floral-starburst shape also makes it a lovely choice for "boho-chic" bridal wear or as a sophisticated gift for a collector of vintage accessories. Whether you are accenting a vintage cocktail dress or adding a touch of glamour to a casual blouse, this pendant serves as a brilliant reminder of an era that never shied away from a little extra shine.
This item is vintage, approximately 60 years old.
