VINTAGE- For your pleasure, I am offering a chance to own this spectacular and rare - ONE OF A KIND -Christmas Tree Brooch marked LAWRENCE VRBA. VRBA spent many years with Miriam Haskell as her head designer, as well as designing for other smaller companies. In the 1980's, VRBA embarked on his solo career - designing and making pieces that were large, ornate, and often outrageous. All his jewelry is hand-made using prong set stones with either gold tone or pewter metal bases. This brooch is set in a dark pewter metal. His pieces are very much in demand and are said to be "works of art". It is not easy to acquire his jewelry since it has never been mass produced. His Christmas Tree brooches are one of the favorites of collectors. This stunning Christmas Tree is totally covered with prong set rhinestones. It is approximately 5 1/4 inches tall and slightly bowed to fit the shoulder. It is 3 1/2 inches at the widest point. I believe this is one of Vrba's earlier brooches since the newer ones are only 4 1/2 inches tall. This is a 3 dimensional brooch- the base set with pave forest green rhinestones set in an oval pattern and accented with round red rhinestones. The star and base are set with clear rhinestones - baguette, square, diamond shapes. T are 3 candles set with rectangular amethyst rhinestones with flames in a honey yellow color.
