Vintage Faux Pearl and Rhinestone Maltese Cross Brooch

Add a touch of timeless sophistication to your collection with this magnificent vintage faux pearl and rhinestone brooch. Sourced as genuine, unworn deadstock from Rhode Island—the historic epicenter of American costume jewelry making—this pristine piece dates back 20 to 40 years, showcasing expert mid-to-late 20th-century design in flawless condition.

The brooch features an intricate, openwork gold-tone setting arranged in a classic Maltese cross or stylized floral silhouette. Four large, lustrous cream faux pearls anchor the design, beautifully framed by interlocking ribbons of gold-tone metal. An intersecting cross of brilliant, clear rhinestones meets at a central crystal cluster, while alternating smaller faux pearls nestle along the outer edges to create depth and dimension.

Authentic vintage dead stock sourced from Rhode Island high-end department stores—20 to 40 years old and never worn. This is genuine vintage inventory with extremely limited availability. Once sold, these pieces are gone for good. We're actively sourcing throughout the summer, so stock is constantly changing.
