1940-60s Articulated Diamond Pearl Enamel 14k Gold Parrot Steet Light Vintage

  

Step into the playful charm of the mid-20th century with this whimsical articulated brooch, masterfully crafted to depict a lively scene of a parrot perched atop a street light with a sunflower twining around it. The movable light element adds a dynamic touch to the piece, while the vibrant enamel work and engraving work brings the scene to life, complemented by a diamond at the heart of the sunflower and a pearl crowning the street light pole. This delightful brooch, substantial in size and dating from the 1940s to the 1960s, is a nostalgic nod to a bygone era of joy and imagination.

Metals: 12-14k gold (tested with nitric acid). For vintage and antique pieces, gold karat purity is provided as a range.

This is due to historical variations in manufacturing processes and past legal hallmarking standards, which may not always align with modern practices as these variations are sometimes undetectable by acid tests. Total Weight: 9.3 grams.

Measurements: 1 7/8 x 1 3/4 (48 x 45mm). Condition: estate condition, considerable wear to enamel, otherwise good condition. Items Included: a new SOHOJEWELERS box. Unless a third-party laboratory grading report is present, all estate jewelry gemstones are measured and graded by SOHOJEWELERS staff while mounted (unless otherwise noted). All grading is done as per mounting limitations. Carat weight is calculated by formula, and diamond and gemstone weights and grades are approximate (unless otherwise noted). Color gemstones are not tested for enhancement treatments (unless otherwise noted), Since it is standard practice for colored gemstones to undergo treatments, it is reasonable to assume that such enhancements may have been applied. All items are tested using our preferred and time-tested method of nitric acid testing (unless specified otherwise). Each item is tested in several places. Karat weight may be represented as a range if an item tests differently in different spots. Please note that there may be some variation to metals due to testing not being possible in certain unreachable spots or due to older solder. Please note that colors and dimensions may vary on different size/quality screens and in different lighting. We do our best to always include a photograph of our jewelry either worn or on a mannequin to give our customers a better size perspective.

Unless otherwise noted, we sell estate items in pre-worn condition. We usually don't polish the items that we sell, as the majority of our clients prefer the beautiful patination that jewelry acquires with age. If we see damage or anything that stands out from normal wear, it will be noted under the condition section of the listing.

Otherwise, items will be listed as estate condition. However, there may be a delay in messages sent evenings, weekends, or holidays. New items are added to our store on a daily basis.
