Overview
This vibrant gold-tone peacock brooch features translucent emerald green enamel over textured guilloché metalwork, accented by rich purple crystals in the tail feathers and clear Swarovski crystal rhinestones along its crest, wing, and eye. The reverse clearly displays the iconic stamped Swarovski swan mark within a circular cartouche set against a starburst textured pattern.
Story
Swarovski introduced its famous swan logo in 1988, marking a bold shift into luxury branded fashion jewelry. This peacock design showcases their signature precision-cut crystals paired with vivid cold enamel. It turned everyday fashion into a shimmering statement of confidence.
Maker / Origin
Founded in Wattens, Austria, in 1895 by Daniel Swarovski, the company revolutionized the jewelry industry with an electric crystal-cutting machine. Swarovski transformed lead crystal into high-fashion treasures, collaborating with houses like Dior and Schiaparelli before establishing their own line of iconic signed figural jewelry.
Condition & Value
In pristine vintage condition with all original clear and purple crystals present and sparkling. The green enamel is smooth with no chips or crazing, the gold-plating retains bright luster, and the rollover safety clasp operates smoothly. Signed Swarovski vintage figural brooches are actively sought by collectors.
