Some of EIsenberg's most substantial and beautiful pieces were made just after WWII when they began using rhodium or a premium golden finish. Rhinestones were back in abundance and Eisenberg used them to great advantage. The brooch presented, circa mid 1940s-1958 features magnificent layered chaton (some dentelle faceted) marquise and pear shaped rhinestones in shades of peridot and topaz with clear accent / icing / ribbon stones. We especially adore the large peridot pears dolloped on golden rods -- corsage style. Beautifully designed and constructed from the house of Eisenberg.

The brooch measures a generous approximate 3 inches x 2 inches with a 1/2 inch maximum profile or height. Pear shaped rhinestones are about 18 millimeters x 13 millimeters; large marquise, 15 millimeters x 7 millimeters and largest chatons, 12 millimeters. Weight of the brooch is 38.7 grams.

Condition is very good to excellent vintage. All stones intact, retaining colors and sparkle. Please note that colors definitions are subjective and image colors can differ from real life colors. While some stones may not appear as brilliant as when created, with this particular brooch the subdued sparkle seems to enhance rather than detract from it's allure. The observation has minimally affected our evaluation. No chips, nicks, cracks or breaks to stones. All secure within pronged and cup settings. No missing or dead stones. No dents or bends to metal components. All soldering secure. Rods remain properly positioned. Gold tone finish (akin to golden rhodium) intact front and back. Pin shaft has slight bend not affecting function. Pin mechanism strong and secure. Clean. No damage / no repairs. Very good to excellent vintage.

Reverse of the brooch is signed in block caps within a rectangular cartouche: "EISENBERG". Additional characters may be a stone setter's identification and/or an inventory classification. They appear to read "5530 91". Circa mid 1940s-1958.
