Vintage 1960s Sphinx Gold 3D Multicolour Crystal Brooch. This extraordinary brooch, attributed to Sphinx, embodies the expressive power of mid-century British costume jewelry at its most imaginative. Crafted in a layered, three-dimensional structure, the piece reveals a level of construction rarely seen in standard vintage brooches. The openwork gold-tone framework forms a dynamic, almost architectural base, while the vibrant pear-cut crystals radiate outward in a deliberate explosion of color and movement.
At its center, an iridescent aurora borealis stone anchors the composition, capturing light from every angle and reinforcing the piece’s sculptural presence.
This brooch reflects exactly that legacy: not mass-produced decoration, but design-led, collectible costume jewelry. This is not a piece for minimalists.
