Smithsonian Institution Exclusive
Description
Holly berries brighten the darkest days of the year and light up your ensemble in a crystal-covered holly brooch. A gold-tone sprig of evergreen holly is covered with emerald-green crystals and siam crystal berries, all wrapped in a crystal-covered bow. These prickly boughs have been a part of winter celebrations since the ancient Celts and Romans, and this bejeweled example is a lovely addition to any collection of holiday pins.
This jewelry item comes packaged in a white box (pictured).
