Description
This circa 1950s or early 1960s rhinestone pin has peridot-colored, unfoiled stones prong-set in bright gold metal. It takes high-quality stones to get this kind of sparkle without the foiling often used in the backs of rhinestones. In fact, the pin was made in Austria using their high quality, extra sparkly stones (think Swarovski = Austrian crystal), so that explains their lovely shine. The bright green stones are also set "upside down", with the pointed sides of the stones upright in the settings. The pin is in excellent condition.
