CoroCraft FINE HAND-ENAMELED STERLING & GOLD PLATED (VERMEIL) MINT VINTAGE PIN

Description: ENAMEL & 'DIAMOND' VINTAGE FLOWER PIN / BROOCH by CORO CRAFT THIS IS FINE COSTUME JEWELRY of the 40s & 50s at its BEST. WHEN IT WAS MADE IT WASN'T A PIN YOU'D SEE 'COMING & GOING' -- WITH INTRICATE HAND-DETAILED ENAMEL & PAVE HAND-SET RHINESTONES -- IT WAS AN EXPENSIVE PIN BACK THEN. I FOUND ONLY A HANDFUL OF PINS ON SEVERAL SITES OF HIGH-END COROCRAFT PIECES OF THE 40s & 50s -- I THINK THIS IS OF THE BEST AS REGARDS ATTENTION TO THE HAND-FEATHERED COLORATIONS. RHINESTONES IN VERMEIL WERE USUAL FOR COROCRAFT -- BUT -- THIS QUALITY OF ENAMELING MAKES IT UNIQUE. COROCRAFT MANUFACTURED HUNDREDS OF STYLES -- HIGH END PINS WERE COSTLY TO MAKE YET YOU CAN FIND THEM FROM EVERY DECADE COROCRAFT EXISTED. BUT -- TO FIND AN ENAMEL PIN THIS BEAUTIFULLY HAND-DETAILED -- & MINT AT 70 YEARS -- IS RARE. (TO FIND THE SLIGHTEST OF DINGS ON THE ENAMEL -- I TOOK A 10x JEWELRY LOOP TO IT.) NOTE -- I DIDN'T GET SOME OF THE COLORING RIGHT IN PHOTOS -- TAKEN WITH & WITHOUT THE FLASH -- IN THE FLASH PIC THE PIN IS BRIGHT -- BUT THE COLORS AREN'T THAT BRIGHT -- OR DULL AS WITHOUT THE FLASH -- PURPLE ON THE CENTER RIDGES & ON PETALS IS DEEPER -- THE YELLOW IS ACTUALLY ALMOST PASTEL & THE ORANGE IS SOFTER ON THE BEIGE PETALS. CLOSEST IN COLOR IS THE MAIN PHOTO -- BUT IT'S RICHER THAN THAT. NOTICE THE PAVE STONES UNDER THE CURL OF THE TOP PETAL -- SWEET. THE BEAUTY IS IN THE ENAMELING -- HAND-PAINTED WITH 'FEATHERING' ADD TO THAT -- ON THE 2 UPPER PETALS -- EACH HAS A ROW OF HAND-SET RHINESTONES -- FINISHED WITH 3 CENTER BAGUETTE STONES & PAVE 'DIAMONDS' IN THE INTERIOR -- AS IF IT'S 14K. COROCRAFT PINS WERE MUCH DESIRED -- OFTEN USED AS FIRST CHOICE BEFORE GOLD & AS 'TRAVEL JEWELRY' FOR THOSE LADIES WHO WANTED FINE PIECES THAT LOOKED LIKE THE REAL THING. THIS ATTENTION TO DETAIL WAS NOT UNUSUAL FOR COSTUME PINS IF THEY WERE COROCRAFT'S HIGH END PINS. WORKING PIN -- STAMPED ON BACK: Sterling -- CoroCraft (with an animal like a horse in relief) IF YOU WANT PHOTOS WITH BETTER DETAIL OR ANGLES -- JUST ASK. THIS PIN IS LARGER THAN MOST COROCRAFT PINS MEASURES -- 2-3/8" Across Petals -- 2-1/2" High Petal to End of Stem 'Baguettes' are 3/16" Long -- Pave 'Stones' are Equal to .01 & .02 Diamonds I PAY FULL INSURANCE FOR ANYTHING OVER $100 If there's something I failed to mention -- please feel free to contact me.
