Description: Cis Brooch by Countess Zoltowska.  Amazing three dimensional brooch with vibrant sapphire and emerald colored rhinestones.  The large pear shape rhinestones are either solid in color or embedded with glitter.  The contrast between the two is magnificent.  The center portion of the brooch is very much like the famous Cis Dandelion brooch  with a cluster of chaton shape rhinestones that are attached via long wispy wires yielding an illusion of movement. 

The cup mounts are typical of Cis and the brooch is secured via a trombone clasp.  The center of the brooch bears the Cis mark so there is no guessing on this piece as being a true Cis. 

Countess Zoltowska or "Cissy,"  as she is sometimes called,  is noted especially for her amazing designs of the 1960s.  Rarely does a fantastic piece come onto the market before quickly being acquired by the most discerning and serious of collectors of bijoux couture.           

This is an absolutely a rare find that The Jewelry Stylist is so proud to present. 

SPECIAL NOTATIONS:

As is the case with all of our jewelry we try to describe it as accurately as possible.  Upon examining the photos for this piece, we noticed that one "cup" holding a large pear shape stone appears to be pushed slightly to one side.  It's very hard to notice or know for sure because often the stones of Cis pieces seem oversized for the structure of the cup in which the rhinestone is surmounted. 

Secondly there are some nicks or "flea bites" on the sparkly rhinestones. It has been suggested that's because that's where glitter flaked off of the surface when it was planed down.  It is very much like the surface of granite in terms of how it looks and is not present on other stones.  We believe this to be original to the piece.

We have included a number of pictures for your viewing to help you with this purchase.  Again... it was not noticed until previewing the photos.  In light of this we are offering a rare 20% discount on this piece.   Being sold as is.
