Vintage Southwest Faux Turquoise Starburst Brooch. This vintage accessory is a Southwestern-style starburst halo brooch, often designed to imitate traditional Zuni "petit point" jewelry. While the design mimics authentic Native American squash blossom or sunburst motifs, pieces with this specific beaded silver-tone setting and uniform stones are frequently vintage costume jewelry from the 1970s. Key Details & Features Design: A circular "halo" featuring stylized squash blossom or leaf-shaped details. Materials: Typically made of silver-tone pot metal with faux turquoise stones. Style Influence: Imitates the intricate Zuni petit point technique, where small, hand-cut stones are set in delicate silver bezels.
