Vintage Hot Air Balloon Brooch Pastel Rhinestone Enamel Gold Tone Figural Pin

Whimsical vintage hot air balloon brooch featuring an ornate openwork gold-tone design filled with tiny white enamel flowers and colorful pastel rhinestones. The balloon is scattered with sparkling pink, blue, green and pale yellow/clear stones among dimensional floral details, with delicate rope-like gold-tone accents, an open lattice basket and a tiny white enamel flag completing the design. One green rhinestone displays an especially vivid neon-green fluorescence under UV/black light, as shown in the final photograph. It is described conservatively as UV reactive; glass composition has not been tested or confirmed. A wonderfully detailed piece of vintage figural costume jewelry with a romantic, whimsical feel—perfect for collectors of novelty brooches, balloon memorabilia, colorful vintage jewelry and travel-inspired pieces.
