Festive Holiday/Christmas Tree Pin--Eisenberg Ice!

More Contemporary--Comes On Original Card!

I've done some checking around on this little pin, as it's simply a fantastic example of the traditional Eisenberg Ice Christmas Tree Pin.  They used to make several versions of trees for the holiday season, and I understand that this particular one comes from the 1990's.  It was purchased in a local antique shop in Valley Junction, West Des Moines, Ia.

Set in a gold tone rhodium metal, this little tree is made with glittering white enamel over the branches to represent flocking, or snow covering the tree.  It is further accented by various colors-blue, green, ruby, citrine, and lavender rhinestones serving as bulb decorations.  The star at the top has been left gold, as has the back.  It measures 2 1/4" tall by 1 1/2" wide at the widest point.  It is clearly signed on the back in a cartouche "Eisenberg Ice."

This pin will arrive on the original Eisenberg Ice display card, which is not pictured in my photo's. 

Condition:  This beautiful brooch is in Excellent Vintage Condition, and I don't think that it has ever been worn.  All metal is bright and shiny and all rhinestones are in place, and glittering.  There is no enamel loss that I can find anywhere on this brooch.
