This 2 3-4" aqua & white rhinestone brooch with matching 3-4" screwback earrings were made by Joseph Wiesner of New York, who designed quality costume jewelry primarily in the 1950s decade. All pieces are marked Astra which was one of his company divisions

Wow, such a wonderful colour. I was not aware that Astra was a division of Wiesner. Always great to learn new things and see new pretty pieces. Your collection is impressive.
What a great set! Very classy!
The use of prongs now to decorate, not serving any purpose, but still a very pretty brooch of very nice design !~
Very grateful to you all for the love

Searching thank you for your fabulous compliments, yes this aqua & white set has just the right balance, Wiesner was great at changing up stone shapes and getting creative, love his work
Thank you so much Dawn for the super praise and enjoying this set. Astra was an early mark by Joseph Wiesner, I believe pre-1954, when you scan around online for his info that is how it looks comparing other Astra pieces. I humbly thank you for the lovely compliment about my collection, and may I return it by saying your Sherman beauties are absolutely divine
MrsT thank you for your marvelous compliments, I too love the class & elegance of this set. The screwback earrings are a little uncomfortable but make you aware of this great vintage era, my grandmother wore screwbacks and was always rubbing her earlobes at night lol
Mary thanks a bunch for your sweet comment & loving this aqua color, it is intense in this Wiesner and I think aged very well. Even though it is autumn I can't help that I love pastel rhinestones the best
Appreciate your commenting dear Phil, thank you for the kind words & indeed these were just accent prongs
Thanks vintagelamp & Pascale for the thoughtful love for this aqua rhinestone set, very glad you liked it & appreciate your kind support
