Vintage 1970s Emmons Smiley Face Brooch Pendant | Gold-Tone Florentine Finish | Dangling Rhinestone Eyes | Cut-Out Smile | Pin or Pendant | 2.75"

Have a nice day, now in gold.

This vintage Emmons gold-tone metal smiley face brooch and pendant is a big, happy 1970s classic. The round face has a brushed florentine finish with a twisted rope edge, cut-out cheeks and a wide cut-out grin, a little raised triangle nose, and two clear glass rhinestone eyes that hang on tiny loops, so they wiggle and sparkle as you move. It has both a bar pin and a pendant bail on the back, so you can wear it as a brooch or hang it on a chain. Emmons sold this design as a necklace in the 1970s, when the smiley face was everywhere from bumper stickers to lunch boxes.

Condition

Very good vintage condition. There is a little rub to the finish on the tip of the nose (please see close-up photo). Both rhinestone eyes are present, the pin opens and closes as it should, and the bail is intact. As with everything in the shop, it's a used piece and may show light signs of wear.

Only one available. Once this smile's taken, it's gone.

Styling props shown in photos are not included.
