PROVENANCE & COLLECTOR NOTE
A luminous prism of mid-century magic. This Sterling Aurora Borealis Brooch centers on a large, radiant-cut crystal that captures and throws a rhythmic spectrum of "northern lights" color. The architectural sterling silver setting, with its beaded bezel and elegant side extensions, evokes the structured elegance of early 20th-century design. It is a soulful statement piece, designed for the woman who carries her own light.

GRACE NOTE
Grace Note: Aurora Borealis stones were famously a collaboration between Swarovski and Christian Dior in the 1950s to mimic the shimmer of the North Star. I love the way this specific radiant cut creates a "depth" of color that standard stones lack. Pin this to a structured charcoal coat or a deep velvet dress to let the rainbow fire truly pop.
