There’s a certain charm in old Christmas jewelry that the newer pieces just don’t capture. This vintage wreath brooch was made by ART sometime in the mid-1960s to early ’70s, when holiday pins were sturdy, colorful, and made with a bit of pride. It has that look and feel the old makers were known for. The wreath is dotted with bright rhinestones in red, blue, and gold tones — the kind of colors that remind you of old Christmas lights glowing on a tree in a quiet living room. Under the right lighting, these stones really do sparkle… the camera never quite shows it, but in person they catch the light beautifully. Up top is a red enamel bow. It shows a little wear from age — just light rubbing and a few flecks of missing paint — nothing over the top, just the kind of gentle patina you expect from a brooch that’s been worn and enjoyed through the years. All the rhinestones are intact, and the clasp works exactly as it should. These ART Christmas pieces are well-collected because they’ve got personality. They’re not flimsy, they’re not generic, and they have that mid-century holiday charm that always feels familiar. This is the sort of brooch that looks right on a winter coat, a holiday scarf, or even clipped to a ribbon on a wrapped present. It brings along a little nostalgia — the good kind — and it’s ready for another season of Christmas memories.
