On the wings of . . .
givre glass!
Givre is the word in the world of costume jewelry used to describe rhinestones that have been infused with a second color.
Most givre glass was made in Germany, although the word is french . . . for "frost" . . . go figure out that meandering etymology . . .
The colors of this former dragonfly brooch are awesome givres of opalescent and "creamsicle", vibrant orange fire opal, fuschia, and opaque pink.
Such a unique treasure!
