This brooch is a typical mid-20th century rhinestone piece. A horizontal brooch with multi-colored crystals set into a prong-set base. The base is gilded metal (probably brass or zinc alloy), the crystals are pressed glass. The clasp design (not a secure modern mechanism, but a C-style) is a clear sign of post-war or even pre-war. The arrangement of multi-colored crystals was fashionable for "rainbow" brooches, popular in the mid-20th century. Many brooches of this shape were made in Rhode Island, New York).
