Jomaz Tiger Pin

Vintage Jomaz Enamel and Rhinestone Tiger Pin

This little tiger is so adorable and so well made!  It is dimensional and has a lot of detail. The tiger stripes are enameled. The eyes are also enameled and a rhinestone was added to give them sparkle.  The nose and mouth area are pave rhinestone and set on the traditional white metal for clear stones. This pin is made as if it was fine jewelry, all Jomaz pieces are.

Pin measures 1 7/16" tall by 1 1/8" wide overall, measurements are approximate.  It is in wonderful vintage condition and dates from the 1960s. Signed on the reverse, this is a scarce design and also a book piece. I was told it is featured on  "Rhinestone Jewelry Figurals, Animals, and Whimsicals"by Marcia Brown, page 219.
