Plaid Bow Detail Lucky White Heather Pin 1960s Brooch by Exquisite (sold)

A vintage brooch on its original sales card is always a great find for collectors.  Here we have a sweet little lucky White Heather Brooch from Exquisite dating from the 1960's. This pin shows a bunch of lucky white heather with a triple looped plaid bow.  The white heather flowers have been hand decorated in cold enamelling with white tips and green fronds and the thistles; they also  feature three little purple jewels amongst the foliage and another purple jewel as a centrepiece. This brooch has that kind of silvery goldtone finish which is often a feature of  vintage costume jewellery signed by Exquisite. This little pin is in great condition, it measures approx 1.5 ins by 1.5 ins and fastens with a guarded roll-over type clasp. The 'Exquisite' Jewellery Company used to advertise and market their scottish pieces with a flyer leaflet which says " These Scottish Souvenir Brooches have been specially designed for us and are protected under the following Registered Design Nos: 905226, 905227, and 905225." This means that these souvenir designs date from circa1962. The Scottish collection was retailed through a showroom at Hope Street, Glasgow but the Exquisite Company's factory was based in Solihull, Warwickshire. The little white heather pin measures approx 1.5 ins in length and is approx 1.5 inches wide. It fastens with a secure roll over type clasp.   On its original white padded display card showing the Exquisite logo and with the wording ' Lucky White Heather Brooch' emblazoned on  the front and the words "Redgrave. Design" printed on the reverse of the card. This sweet vintage floral brooch would be  a good addition to a collection of Vintage Exquisite jewellery or would just be great fun to wear on a lapel or hat or on a plaid shawl for Burn's Night!
