Here is a perfect Hazel Leaves and Nuts Brooch. This lovely vintage cold enamel brooch is one of a range of a dozen Leaf brooches and earrings designed in the 1960's by Exquisite Jewellery Ltd., of Solihull, Warwickshire, England. All of their designs were registered to prevent other companies copying! This Hazel pin features three realistic hazel nuts along with the leaves in its design. The metal has a gold tone finish to the branches and stems of the leaves and the reverse of the pin where the signature 'Exquisite' can be clearly seen. The cold enamel was hand painted onto the pieces which is why the colour ways vary such a lot. This one has three brown hazelnuts with yellow tips in their green cups and variegated green leaves with a golden stem to their centres. It is in good vintage order with a secure roll over type c clasp fastening. EXQUISITE made their brooches range in two sizes and this pin is the more hard-to-find smaller sized version. This vintage brooch measures approximately 2 by 1.5 inches. It is very wearable and would be just the thing for your vintage costume jewelry collection. It would also be a perfect gift for a friend called 'Hazel'!
