The Princess makes quite a statement in size and presence. She is sure to lend a royal air to any lapel she might grace. Outfitted with straight pin and safety catch. Hallmarked at the back, please see photograph 6...and yes, it is difficult to read. It is rare to come across Reinad jewelry as they primarily designed for other costume jewelers including Boucher, Carnegie and Eisenberg. Quite a piece of fun fashion history!

The brooch looks fabulous though it does show signs of age and wear. There is some loss to the gold finish from wear as well as surface scratching. There are a total of six small rhinestones missing in the crown, please see the red arrows in photograph 9. The larger stones are all present.

The brooch measures 3.75" tall x 2.5" wide x .75" deep including the straight pin hardware. See less
