Schiffer Book Piece Bakelite Elephant Vtg Rhinestones Painted Carved Brooch Pin

WIDTH Trunk to tail measurement 1 - 7/8 (just under 2 inches). HEIGHT Feet to top of ear 1 - 5/8 (just over inch and a half). 15 years ago I bought the book and looked specifically for the pictured items. I was so thrilled to find this elephant right away!

Sadly, I have yet to find an occasion to wear this brooch. Time to re-home this gorgeous piece. Elephants represent many things: they're symbols of luck and prosperity, but they are also powerful beings that use their mighty strength to remove obstacles and negative forces. They also represent wisdom, long life, memory and vitality. Please look at photos carefully as they are part of the description. This is a used bakelite elephant pin. Wear is consistent with age. Rhinestones are in acceptable condition.

Paint is a bit worn, but much better than the photo in the book. If you haven't seen this type of bakelite before the treatment it was given is resin dyed. From the book titled "Bakelite Pins" By Karima Parry - Carved, resin washed, painted Bakelite elephant pin with inlaid rhinestones.

Please check out my other current listings. I hope to list more shortly.
