Eisenburg Original White Crystal 1940’s Fur Clip

Any individual who loves, wears or collects costume jewelry must have absolutely, positively without question an Eisenberg pin/brooch/ fur clip in their collection.  Eisenberg Mfg. Co. originally produced clothing and soon embellished  their clothing with dazzling jewelry primarily using Austrian crystals.  The early pieces were signed “Eisenberg Original” and referred to the clothing not the jewelry. After a while, the jewelry became the trademark not the clothing and has been told.  The item presented here is a beautiful example of a 1940’s signed Eisenberg Original Hallmark stamped brooch.   The Austrian clear white crystals are all original and nothing has been replaced and it has been beautifully preserved.  This brooch measures about 3″ in height X 2″ at its widest point.  If you are an absolute, positive individual, then this Eisenberg Original is for you.  Remember,  Clive says jewelry should be as unique as you are !
