Amethyst glass cabochons are framed by glistening crystal rhinestones set in sterling on this stunning crown pin. The sterling has been given a light wash for a golden appearance. A truly wonderful example of a crown brooch from the 1940s.
The crown was originally available in eight different colors from H.M Schrager & Co. Inc. under the slogan Regal Elegance. This one is the "king" crown pin in an Amethyst color.
