Vintage Pavé Rhinestone Elephant Brooch — Articulated Trunk — Emerald Crystal Eyes — 1980s Statement Pin

A fully pavé-set elephant head with a trunk that moves — three articulated segments, each covered in crystal, curling upward at the tip for good luck. The emerald rhinestone eyes read as deliberate and considered against the field of white crystals, and the two-tone treatment — silver-tone pavé body against gold-tone ear rims and tusks — gives the piece a layered richness that photographs well and wears better. The back shows some tone loss consistent with age; the front is excellent throughout, with no missing stones.
