Mid-Century 'Bluebird of Happiness' Enamel Lapel Pin

Story

Bluebirds have been cherished symbols of joy and optimism for centuries, but they reached a fever pitch of popularity in the post-WWII era.

Maker / Origin

While this piece is unsigned, it is consistent with the 'boutique' costume jewelry produced by companies like Coro, Trifari, or Sarah Coventry, who specialized in accessible luxury.

Condition & Value

The pin shows some expected wear consistent with age, including slight thinning of the enamel at the wingtips and tail. Value for unbranded mid-century costume jewelry is driven by the charm of the subject matter and the condition of the enamel.
