A wonderfully characterful vintage brooch in the form of a crocodile, entirely pavé-set with sparkling crystal rhinestones in two shades of green, a lighter peridot-green along the body, legs and curling tail, and a deeper forest-green along the spine, creating a beautifully lifelike two-tone effect. The piece is set in gold-tone metal and finished with a dark stone eye that gives the crocodile a delightfully knowing expression.
This is the kind of piece that stops people in their tracks. Bold, playful, and impeccably made, it sits perfectly within the maximalist and dopamine dressing aesthetic that is so very much of the moment, and yet it has the timeless quality of something that will never go out of style. Wear it on a lapel, a coat, a scarf, or a bag strap for an instant conversation starter.
All stones are present and intact.
