Authenticity Guarantee
Every piece is hand-selected, cleaned, and described using over 20 years of vintage experience. When a listing says a piece is vintage, it is vintage. If an item isn't as described, I'll refund you in full, including shipping.
Vintage Condition
Every piece here is pre-loved and often decades old, so expect gentle signs of age and use, like light scratches, softened plating or finish, small marks, or patina. That's part of each piece's history and charm, and nothing will look fresh off a showroom floor.
Anything beyond normal wear, such as chips, cracks, repairs or damage, is always pointed out in the description and shown in the photos. If an item arrives with a flaw I didn't mention, my return policy has you covered.

Vintage Harlequin Jester Brooch | Black Enamel Diamond Pattern & Clear Rhinestones | Gold-Tone Figural Pin | Unsigned | 3"
Finally, a court jester who knows how to strike a pose and keep his mouth shut.
This vintage gold-tone metal and black enamel harlequin jester brooch shows a slender jester stretching with both arms raised over his belled hat. His bodice is a classic harlequin diamond pattern in glossy black enamel, with clear glass rhinestones set in the gold diamonds and on the tips of his hat. Below, his textured gold-tone legs cross at the ankle like a dancer's. Harlequin and jester figural pins were a favorite of 1980s and 90s costume jewelry, and this one has lovely detail right down to the little bells at his waist.

Condition
Very good vintage condition. The enamel is glossy, the rhinestones are bright and the pin opens and closes as it should. As with everything in the shop, it's a used piece and may show light signs of wear.
Only one available. When the show's over, it's gone.
