Vintage Enameled Crystal Bird of Paradise / Phoenix Brooch

This is an elongated vintage costume jewelry brooch depicting a stylized bird of paradise or phoenix. The piece is constructed from a gold-tone base metal and features a vibrant combination of multi-color enameling and pavé-set crystals. The bird’s neck and portions of the long, sweeping tail feathers are densely encrusted with clear, round-cut chaton rhinestones. A single small red rhinestone is used for the eye. The crest, breast, and primary tail feathers are finished with a glossy cold-enamel (epoxy) in shades of ruby red, emerald green, and lapis blue. The wings exhibit a textured ‘feather’ pattern under the translucent green enamel, suggesting a guilloché-style technique. The overall design features elegant, flowing curves typical of the mid-to-late 20th-century costume jewelry aesthetic (circa 1970s–1990s). The metalwork appears to be in good condition with minimal plating loss, though minor surface scratches are visible on the enameled sections upon close inspection. The craftsmanship is of good commercial quality, with stones appearing securely set. While no visible maker's mark is shown in the image, the style is consistent with manufacturers like Trifari, Boucher, or high-end boutique brands of the era.
