This auction is for a stunning vintage silver tone figural brooch, beautifully crafted in the shape of a mandolin.  The instrument features a domed deep amethyst purple faceted oval glass stone as the body, surrounded by shimmering aurora borealis rhinestones and accented with teal blue or aqua blue small stones.  The fretboard is set with sparkling crystal rhinestones, with a emerald cut clear rhinestone at the top with more of the tiny aqua blue accent stones and some clear stones.  This brooch is 3" from top to bottom. PLEASE NOTE:  Although all my jewelry listings will be marked that returns are not accepted (due to eBay's change of policy from 14 day returns to 30 days). If an item is damaged in shipment or there are any condition issues that I missed, please send me a note and a photograph.  No returns will be accepted without a photograph.   We will not accept returns because an item "does not fit" or because the buyer "changed their mind".  Be sure to check out our other listings and our eBay store items (over 4550, all on sale).  We don’t mark up our items by a great amount, so reasonable offers only please for store items. We do have a layaway plan available for items or groups of items totaling $200 or more.  I am happy to ship to third party shippers for my international clients. Great low starting bid, and being sold with NO RESERVE.
