Description

The listing, Vintage Salamander Pin has ended.

Really unusual piece! Gold or gold tone salamander with emerald rhinestone eyes and 11 ruby rhinestones on the back. Marked "CZECHO" on the bottom.

There is a lot of delicate filigree work on the front and back of the piece. It appears that someone added a brass? loop right behind the head to use as a pendant. This should probably be removed.

I don't know how old this is - I would say 1950's or earlier. None of the rhinestones are missing and all still sparkle. Needs a good cleaning. The pin is in working condition.

This is part of my grandmother's jewelry cache that I inherited about 15 years ago. It's been sitting in my jewelry box in the closet since then.

I can't stress how unusual this is!

All Listia rules apply and item is sold "as is". The pictures show everything about the piece, but I will answer any questions I can.

Free shipping in the US to verified addresses only. Elsewhere is actual cost.

Thank you for looking - good luck to you bidding on this really special brooch!!!!

Yes, she did. I'm working my through a very large amount of jewelry but a lot of it is very inexpensive costume. Nothing is more recent than the mid 70's and most is much older. Together, it halfway fills up a king-size comforter bag - LOL. It's been taking up space in my closet for years! I'll be setting up new auctions for a while ...
