Vintage 1980s Pink Rhinestone Flamingo Brooch 3.25 Inch Gold Tone Figural Pin

DESCRIPTION

A wonderfully tall vintage circa 1980s flamingo brooch, standing approximately 3.25 inches high with an elegant S-curved neck and classic one-legged pose. The bird is densely set with graduated pink rhinestones across its body and neck, accented by a green eye, dark beak, and slender gold-tone legs—a large-scale figural pin with unmistakable tropical glamour.

WORTH NOTING

• Bright green eye and dark beak provide tiny but distinctive contrasting details.
• Slender gold-tone legs and exposed metalwork emphasize the sculptural bird form.
• Approx. weight: 14.4 grams, giving the brooch notable substance for a figural pin.
• Traditional pin-back construction.
• Estimated era: circa 1980s, based on the construction, materials, rhinestone treatment, hardware, and overall costume-jewelry design.

CONDITION

Good vintage condition with light age-appropriate wear consistent with prior ownership. Pink rhinestones appear seated and retain strong color and sparkle, while the gold-tone metal presents attractively in the photographs. Minor surface or finish variation may be present upon close inspection; please review photographs closely for rhinestones, eye, beak, legs, pin mechanism, and metal finish.

FROM THE HOUSE

At more than three inches tall, this flamingo was certainly not designed to disappear quietly onto a lapel. The sweeping neck, wonderful pink sparkle, and improbable one-legged stance make it an especially delightful piece for the collector of vintage figural jewelry, tropical motifs, birds, or gloriously unapologetic 1980s costume jewelry.
