Eisenberg & Sons is an esteemed American jewelry company that makes high-quality costume jewelry. Jonas Eisenberg established the company in Chicago in 1914, offering high-end womenswear. But, it was the clothing's ornate buttons and brooches that seized public attention. The "Eisenberg Original" mark was first used around 1938. These jewels, produced during World War II, featured brilliant Swarovski crystals set in sterling silver.

Details: The brooch measures 1.92" by 2.5". In Very Good Vintage Condition. You should always expect some wear on vintage and antique jewels; we consider it part of their charm.
