Chrysler Pentastar 20-Year Service Award Pins with Blue Gemstone Accents

This is a pair of vintage Chrysler Corporation employee service award lapel pins. Each pin features the iconic three-dimensional 'Pentastar' logo centered within a square-shaped frame with rounded corners. The pins appear to be constructed from 10k or 14k yellow gold or a high-quality gold plating, featuring a textured matte finish on the background (recessed field) and a high-polish finish on the raised logo and outer border. Positioned below the Pentastar logo on each pin are two small blue gemstones, likely sapphires, which traditionally signify a milestone of twenty years of automotive service. The gems are securely held in small prong settings. The overall construction is solid and shows high craftsmanship consistent with corporate jewelry from the 1960s through the 1980s. The condition appears to be excellent vintage quality with a light, natural patina on the metal surfaces and no visible damage to the settings or stones. While maker's marks are likely located on the reverse side (not visible), these were commonly produced by Tiffany & Co. or Balfour for Chrysler. These represent a historical period of Chrysler brand identity and are highly collectible among automotive enthusiasts and corporate memorabilia collectors.
