Vintage Pineapple Brooch Pendant

A large faceted amber plastic stone, warm and deeply transparent, forms the body of a pineapple crowned with a spray of finely textured gold-tone leaves — the kind of piece that commits fully to its own logic and is better for it. The converter hook appears original, making this equally at home on a lapel or a chain. Some wear to the gold tone on the reverse, as expected from a piece that has clearly been worn and loved; the front presents beautifully.
