Up for
sale is vintage grape brooch made of Lucite beads and green rhinestones set
into the grapes. The stem and enameled leaves are gold plated. This fantastic
piece is featured in a book called "Inside the Jewelry Box" by Anne
Pitman. The book lists the brooch as being made in Austria during the 1950s and
marketed as "Forbidden Fruit". Wonderful condition with no missing
stones. When I purchased the brooch the owner told her Mother wore it on her
suit jacket when she was married in the 1950’s.
