Love figural jewelry? Here's one you should have in your collection. A 1940s Sterling with Gold Vermeil giraffe manufactured by Reja. Experts agree that Reja did not always sign pieces and in some cases stamped pieces "STERLING," as this one is. This particular design was done in a few colors, and some were stamped "REJA STERLING." The large glass body stone is a reddish-orange, as are the tiny rhinestones. Very striking, you will love wearing this and get compliments every time you do!

MEASUREMENTS:
Size: 1 inch wide by 3 inches high (2.5 by 7.6cm)
Clasp Type: Locking Clasp, evidence of repair
Signature: "STERLING" (attributed to Reja)
Condition: Good vintage condition, as shown in the photos. there is some fading of the Gold Vermeil finish in spots, and some age-related patina, commonly seen with pieces of this age. All stones are intact. Above the base of the pin is a piece of solder, indicating that the pin has been repaired (see closeup in last photo). Of course, as this is on the back of the brooch, it's not visible at all when worn. The pin is secure and holds well.
