Vintage Figural Enamel and Rhinestone Frog Brooch

This is a whimsical figural brooch in the shape of a leaping frog, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century. The piece features a gold-tone metal base with intricate decorative textures. The frog’s body is finished in a specialized green speckled enamel, creating a bumpy, toad-like texture that mimics natural amphibian skin. The craftsmanship is highlighted by the application of green cold-painted enamel on the elongated legs, which are posed in a dynamic jumping position. Notable embellishments include four clear round-cut rhinestones set into the back and two distinctively colored stones for the eyes—one appearing as a red rhinestone and the other as a clear one, which may indicate a missing stone or a mismatched replacement. The underside of the legs shows a bright polished gold-plating. In terms of condition, there is minor wear to the enamel on the leg joints and some visible darkening of the adhesive around the rhinestones. No obvious maker's mark is visible from this perspective, but the style is consistent with mid-century costume jewelry makers who specialized in animal motifs. The piece exhibits a charming, playful style and solid construction, typical of high-quality vintage costume jewelry from the 1960s or 1970s.
