Vintage Blue Enamel Parrot Brooch

Cobalt and ice-blue enamel layered over a sculpted gold-tone body — this parrot perches on a naturalistic branch with the casual confidence of something that belongs in a terrarium or a rain forest, not a jewelry box. The face is the most alive part: a cluster of clear rhinestones forms the cheek patch, with a single pink rhinestone at the eye that gives the bird a knowing, slightly amused expression. White enamel accents the throat and wing, softening the deep blue body. A piece that rewards a second look.

Materials Gold-tone base metal; blue and white enamel; clear and pink rhinestones
