Alice Caviness Unsigned Pink & Olive Green Rhinestone Brooch
Unsigned Alice Caviness Rhinestone Burst Brooch – 1950s – 2.25"
This spectacular midcentury brooch is a firework of pinks and greens, unmistakably in the style of Alice Caviness—rich in whimsy, layered detail, and color. Measuring approximately 2.25 inches (about 57 mm) across, this unsigned beauty explodes with dimension and drama.
The center is crowned by a brilliant round-cut rose pink rhinestone haloed with clear chatons, radiating into layers of marquise-cut rhinestones in juicy peridot green and deep watermelon pink. Dark olive navettes add contrast and depth, creating a starburst effect that’s pure Caviness fantasy.
But the pièce de résistance? Three delicately molded art glass petals in frosted pink with white swirls—Caviness' signature move—bringing the brooch into high-relief 3D glory. All stones are prong set in a warm antiqued goldtone backing, with those classic domed rivet pins that echo her unsigned masterpieces of the 1950s.
Wear it to bring color and glamour to any ensemble—or let it anchor a floral-themed vintage display. Unsigned, but collectors will know.
