Vintage Gold-Tone Ballerina Dancer Brooch Figural Rhinestone Lapel Pin Retro

Figural ballerina brooches like this one are among the more collected pieces in costume jewelry — the combination of pose and sparkle makes them hard to pass by.

A gold-tone figural brooch in the form of a dancing ballerina, her full tutu set with aurora borealis rhinestones that shift from clear to iridescent depending on the light. The body and limbs are smooth polished gold-tone metal with a fine textured finish on the skirt. The piece is lightweight despite its presence.

At 4 × 4 cm it reads at scale on a lapel or jacket collar. The pose — one arm raised, one leg extended mid-pirouette — gives it movement even pinned still.

Works pinned to a dark blazer lapel, a knit cardigan, or a lightweight scarf. The AB stones catch light without being overwhelming, so it sits comfortably in both everyday and occasion contexts.
