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.
