PROVENANCE & COLLECTOR NOTE
In the 1950s and 1960s, a woman's brooch box was her secret weapon. Rhinestone brooches — sparkling, affordable, and endlessly versatile — were the workhorses of mid-century style, transforming a simple dress into an evening look or a plain coat into a fashion statement with a single pin. This collection of blue rhinestone brooches and pins captures that era's love of sparkle and color perfectly. Blue rhinestones, with their cool, sophisticated shimmer, were among the most popular and enduring choices of the period, and these pieces show exactly why.

GRACE NOTE
Blue rhinestones are one of those rare things in fashion that are simultaneously timeless and of their moment. They look just as beautiful today as they did when a mid-century woman first pinned them to her coat. I love wearing blue rhinestone brooches with navy, white, or cream — the contrast is simply stunning. Pin one to a blazer lapel, scatter a few on a scarf, or wear your favorite as a hair ornament. This collection gives you options, and options are the greatest luxury of all.
