This is a vintage Schreiner rhinestone brooch, featuring a large purple center stone surrounded by 20 marquise-cut aurora borealis rhinestones in a silver-tone setting. It is a vintage piece of costume jewelry, likely made between 1951and the 1970's.
The construction uses a classic hook-and-eye mechanism to link the layered components, a signature of Schreiner jewelry. The central stone is a foil-backed crystal.There is some very tiny wear of the gold foil on this piece. This specific design is a known piece from this brand.
