This Christmas Rose pin is a designed signed item by Exquisite Jewellery Ltd., of Solihull, Warwickshire, England. It was one of their range of Birthday Flower Brooches introduced and extremely popular during the 1960's. The brooches were cold enamelled by hand and this means that no two are exactly the same so adds to their appeal as a collectable piece of vintage costume jewellery. These pins came in two sizes with a flower for every month of the year! This is the small sized one. The Company also had a range of Leaf pins and matching earrings, as well as many other lines in quality costume jewellery. The Christmas Rose Brooch is the pin for December . It has a silvery gold tone finish and has the classic "bow" tied around the bunch of seasonal flowers which features on all these designer pins. It is so pretty with its detailed Holly leaves and berries in green and red contrasting with the white and yellow Christmas roses. It is in good condition but with a magnified photo you can see there is a tiny bit of paint loss on a holly leaf and a little bit of rubbed area on the high point of the holly berries . These do no detract from this 1960s pin. What a great gift for Christmas or for someone with a December Birthday! These signed vintage pieces become scarcer as collectors snap them up - make sure you don't miss this beautiful vintage brooch! Approximate measurements are 2 inches by 1.5inches. This item fastens with a rollover type clasp and has the 'Exquisite' signature on the reverse.
