Celebrating midcentury design, our fanciful reproduction brooch was inspired by a stunning jewelry set in The Met collection. The original brooch and matching earrings were made about 1956–60 by Trifari, a noted American maker of fashion jewelry founded in 1918.
First seen in the post-World War II era, brooches shaped like exotic birds, animals, and bouquets were typical of the lighthearted adornments that stylish women favored, a taste that remained in vogue through the 1950s. Its style is in keeping with the period's trend toward naturalistic motifs in jewelry, characterized by asymmetry and a feeling of spontaneity and movement.

I love this beautiful brooch of a bird in flight! The blue color is absolutely striking! It's larger than I expected, but that is a positive. I will wear it on my favorite blue jacket!
I purchased this pin for my mom and she absolutely loves it. She has received many compliments while wearing it. The blue enamel is very vibrant and the design of the bird is graceful and looks beautiful on. It is now one of her favorites.
I was eyeing this a long time and am so happy that I bought it. I wore it on a bright blue jacket and got a slew of compliments. I did not have any problems with the clasp as mentioned by others.
Received this as a Christmas present and it is lovely - BUT - the clasp will not stay closed and I found it unclasped many times in the 2 days since I began wearing it. I guess I'll have to take it to a jewelry store to fix the clasp - this shouldn't happen.
