One of my favorite finds from this week's Thrifty Tuesday treasure hunt was an incredible collection of vintage costume jewelry. After sorting through more than 40 brooches, I narrowed it down to five pieces to feature this week.
Choose your favorite from the dropdown menu.
Nolan Miller Bird of Paradise – $125
A dramatic Bird of Paradise brooch accented with sapphire-blue baguette stones, clear crystals, and a gold-tone finish. Measuring approximately 3.75" x 3", it's a true statement piece.
Crown Trifari "Birds of Fashion" Bird – $225
A signed Crown Trifari brooch from the 1964 Birds of Fashion collection. Finished in brushed and polished gold tone with a red cabochon eye, this elegant bird is one of Trifari's most recognizable figural designs. Measures approximately 1.75" x 1.875".
Trifari Modernist Silver Brooch – $75
A sculptural signed Trifari brooch with clean geometric lines and a distinctly mid-century modern aesthetic. Measures approximately 3.75" x 1.75".
Vintage Rhinestone Floral Trembler Brooch – $42
The flower heads are mounted on tiny springs, allowing them to gently tremble and catch the light as you move—a charming vintage feature that's become a favorite among collectors. Measures approximately 3" across (following the gentle curve of the brooch).
Vintage Milk Glass & Aurora Borealis Cluster Brooch – $24
A vintage cluster brooch featuring marquise-shaped milk glass cabochons accented with shimmering aurora borealis rhinestones. A classic mid-century design that adds a soft touch of sparkle to a jacket, sweater, or scarf. Measures approximately 1.75" wide
Looking for more? I've only scratched the surface of this collection. I'll be adding more vintage brooches and other costume jewelry to the shop as I work my way through it.
