This striking vintage brooch from American Fashion Jewels (AFJ) embodies the bold and artistic design sensibilities of the early 1990s. Crafted with heavy gold-tone alloy, the elephant brooch makes a substantial statement without compromising on wearability, thanks to its secure round hinge and rollover safety catch. The piece showcases a meticulously textured design across its golden surface, providing a magnificent contrast to the sparkling rhinestones that adorn its form. The polished rims along the edges of the elephant enhance the brooch's exquisite detailing, ensuring it catches the eye from every angle.
The elephant, a symbol of strength and wisdom, is brought to life through this unsigned piece, reflecting AFJ's commitment to creating memorable and lasting jewelry. Operating between 1985 and 1993, AFJ was known for its bold jewelry that captured the essence of American fashion in the late 20th century. This brooch, with its heft and detailed craftsmanship, is a quintessential example of the brand's work. Perfect for collectors and vintage jewelry enthusiasts, the AFJ elephant brooch stands as a testament to the era's taste for statement pieces.
