Charming and beautifully styled, this attractive Jewel Crest crystal brooch showcases the elegant mid-century design aesthetic associated with Australian jewellery designer Donald Hamilton Simpson. The brooch features a graceful arrangement of clear crystals that create a lively display of sparkle and light.
Crafted in a silver tone setting, the brooch is decorated with an assortment of clear crystals in varying shapes and sizes, carefully arranged to form a balanced and decorative design. The mix of stone cuts adds depth and brilliance, allowing the brooch to catch the light beautifully when worn.
The brooch measures approximately 55mm × 34mm and weighs 17.72 grams, giving it a lovely presence on a jacket, dress, scarf or lapel.
The Jewel Crest name is closely connected with Donald Hamilton Simpson (1912–1987), one of Australia’s most recognised jewellery designers. Simpson produced high-quality costume jewellery from the late 1940s through to the early 1970s, selling pieces under trademarks including Simpson and Jewel Crest.
His jewellery became admired for its craftsmanship and the use of materials such as Austrian crystals, cultured pearls, rhodium plated metals and decorative stones, often arranged in elegant floral and sculptural mid-century designs. Today these pieces are highly collectible examples of Australian vintage costume jewellery.
♻️ As with all of our jewellery and collectables, this brooch is a pre-loved piece, allowing a lovely example of vintage jewellery design to enjoy a new life while supporting sustainable collecting.
