Vintage Gold-Plated Blue Enamel Squirrel Brooch — 1980s

Blue enamel on gold-plated stainless steel, with vivid green glass eyes that give this 1980s squirrel brooch an almost jewel-like quality. The colour combination is unexpected and entirely charming — the kind of detail that makes vintage animal jewelry so much more interesting than its modern counterparts.

Never worn and in pristine original condition. There is only one.

STYLING

Pin it to a white linen blazer in spring where the blue enamel pops against the neutral, wear it on a denim jacket in summer where the colours feel effortlessly at home, or fasten it to a camel wool coat lapel in autumn for an unexpected nature-inspired accent. It works just as well on a wide-brimmed straw hat, clipped onto a canvas bag strap, or layered with other vintage animal brooches on a winter coat — the green eyes catch the light wherever it lands.
