Parrot Jelly Belly Brooch Rhinestone Enamel Bird Vintage Figural Tropical

Description

View Parrot Jelly Belly Brooch Rhinestone Enamel Bird Vintage Figural Tropical with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The Jomaz connection is particularly important to the design rather than the maker attribution. It reproduces the extravagant look of a classic Jomaz parrot design. The bird has a wonderfully theatrical appearance. This dramatic figural parrot brooch is an unsigned reproduction of a well-known Jomaz jeweled parrot design. It captures the extravagant look of the original Jomaz bird brooch with its oversized domed belly, brilliant rhinestones, colorful enamel and sweeping tropical plumage, while being accurately offered as an unsigned reproduction rather than an authentic Jomaz piece. Often referred to in the vintage jewelry marketplace as a “Jelly Belly” brooch, the parrot features a large domed turquoise-blue cabochon forming its body. Although Jelly Belly is a useful and recognizable search term for this style, the cabochon is not being represented as a true period Lucite Jelly Belly. The bird has a wonderfully theatrical appearance. Clear rhinestones sparkle across its head, a vivid green rhinestone forms the eye, and an orange enamel beak provides a bright contrast. Red, green and deep blue-black enamel accents decorate the wings and long openwork tail feathers. Gold-tone metal defines the individual feathers and forms the dimensional textured branch beneath the bird. The Jomaz connection is particularly important to the design rather than the maker attribution. Jomaz produced elaborate figural bird jewelry featuring colorful enamel, rhinestones and prominent cabochon bodies, and this reproduction closely follows that recognizable aesthetic. It offers the visual impact of the famous design without being represented as an original signed Jomaz brooch. Why You Will Be Obsessed With It The Jelly Belly look makes an immediate statement. The turquoise-blue domed cabochon is a fabulous focal point. It reproduces the extravagant look of a classic Jomaz parrot design. Clear rhinestones give the head exceptional sparkle. The brilliant green rhinestone eye adds personality. Rich multicolor enamel creates a striking tropical palette. Long openwork tail feathers give the bird a dramatic silhouette. Condition Good pre-owned condition with age-related wear visible primarily on the reverse, including areas of finish wear and discoloration to the gold-tone metal. The front presents beautifully with vivid color and sparkle, with some enamel wear visible on close inspection. The rhinestones and large cabochon present well. Pin stem and rollover safety clasp are present and functional. Please review the photographs carefully as they are an important part of the condition description.
