Gorgeous and dainty vintage (1930s - 1950s) gold tone trembler brooch that has garnet red rhinestone pistil that moves or trembles as you move, hence the name trembler. In excellent vintage condition and feels very well made. There is a lot of lovely details on this piece like textured petals and leaves with a stunning red center that catches the light beautifully.
I would consider this a summer brooch because of its delicate nature. You don't want to snag the middle on a scarf or jacket.
Length 2.75in x 1.7in wide Weight 17g
