Vintage Caramel Rhinestone Brooch, 1960s Floral Cross Pin

✧ Warm Caramel Tones of the 1960s
This beautiful vintage brooch features a rich arrangement of open-back brown rhinestones in a layered floral cross design.
The warm caramel and smoky amber tones catch the light softly, giving the piece a quiet elegance that feels both refined and luminous.

I’ve always had a soft spot for brown rhinestones — they’re understated, warm, and incredibly versatile. Whether worn with everyday knitwear or an evening outfit, this brooch adds a subtle glow rather than overwhelming the look.

✦ Style & Origin
Based on the construction and setting, this piece dates to the 1960s and reflects the design language of high-quality American costume jewelry of the period.

Characteristics include:
Open-back navette stones
Layered dimensional construction
Silver-tone setting
Rich autumnal colour palette

The design is strongly reminiscent of pieces by Juliana (DeLizza & Elster) and other well-made American makers such as Weiss, although the brooch is unsigned.

✦ Collector’s Note
What drew me to this piece is its colour — a deep, glowing caramel that feels warm, elegant, and timeless. It’s one of those brooches that works effortlessly for both day and evening, especially in autumn and winter styling.
