Vintage Barclay Jonquil Rhinestone Brooch – 1950s Gold‑Tone Pillow Design with Emerald, Pear & Marquise Cuts

This luminous 1950s Barclay brooch features a rectangular pillow design set with jonquil yellow rhinestones in a variety of cuts — emerald, pear, marquise, and chaton — arranged in a dimensional, layered composition. The gold-tone metalwork is ornate and sculptural, with openwork swirls and bead accents that frame the stones beautifully.
A true statement piece, this brooch captures mid-century glamour with its bold color story and intricate craftsmanship. Most stones are prong-set for durability and sparkle, and the back is signed “Barclay,” confirming its pedigree in vintage costume jewelry.
Very good vintage condition. All rhinestones are intact and most are prong-set. The gold-tone finish shows minimal age wear. Signed “Barclay” on the reverse.
