This stunning Alice Caviness signed pin features a wise owl covered in prong set rhinestones set in gold tone metal. The body is a large emerald green stone, his wings, claws and eyebrows are sparkling green rhinestones, his beak is a jet black stone, and his eyes are amber gold. The pin is a little more than 1 inch tall and approximately ¾ inches wide. This pin will add that certain ‘bling' to a jacket lapel.
This pretty pin has the Alice Caviness designer mark under its left wing. This vintage pin is in excellent condition and the clasp works perfectly. This pin has been personally owned by my family since its original purchase from a jewelry store in early 1960's.
History of Alice Caviness:
Beginning her career as a fashion and glove model, Alice Caviness widened her horizons and moved into the jewelry business in the mid- to late-1940s. Caviness Jewelry was sold only in high-end boutique and department stores and fine jewelry shops in United States, and they were very selective as to who carried their jewelry. In the early 60's in Europe, Alice and Jules found manufacturers of superb sterling and gold-on-sterling jewelry, cloisonne enamels and filigrees. Caviness Jewelry is distinctive and unusual, which explains why it remains so popular today. Since it was a special line of jewelry with many fewer pieces made than companies like Coro and Trifari, it hotsell is very collectible.
