Ballet Dancer Crystal Brooch

Ballet originated in fifteenth-century Italian Renaissance courts as an opulent, aristocratic spectacle blending music, dance and poetry, before flourishing further in France under King Louis XIV (1638–1715), who founded the first ballet school, the Académie Royale de Danse, in 1661. This gold-tone costume brooch, set with crystals in the graceful form of a ballet dancer, captures something of that centuries-old elegance and discipline. Charming and finely detailed, it makes a lovely gift for any lover of ballet or classical dance.
