Rhinestone Enamel Pumpkin Brooch
Unbranded (Likely mass-produced contemporary fashion jewelry) · Jewelry & Watches > Vintage & Fashion Prooches
Era / Decade
Modern / 2010s-2020s. Construction markers such as the high-gloss enamel and specific rhinestone facet styles indicate contemporary manufacturing rather than true vintage.
Material
Gold-tone base metal alloy with orange and green enamel. Features clear and topaz-colored glass or resin rhinestones and marquis-cut crystals.
Condition
Good. All gemstones appear present in the photo; however, the piece shows some dust and debris from storage. Some minor wear to the metal plating along the edges.
Demand Level
Moderate (Seasonal). Demand spikes significantly between September and November. Low demand during spring and summer months.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$5.00 - $12.00
Estimated Retail Value
$10.00 - $20.00
Comparable Sales
Similar unbranded pumpkin brooches typically sell for $6-$10 plus shipping on eBay. Branded versions (e.g., Heidi Daus or Swarovski) command significantly higher prices ($40+), but this piece lacks those specific design hallmarks.
Description
Festive pumpkin-shaped brooch featuring vibrant orange enamel with vertical pavé-set rhinestone rows. The stem is finished in a contrasting green enamel. Accented with larger marquis-cut ambers and clear crystals for added dimension and sparkle. Perfect for autumn, Halloween, or Thanksgiving accessorizing.
Key Features
High visual appeal; seasonal holiday theme (Pumpkin/Halloween/Harvest); sparkling pave-set stones; popular orange and green colorway for fall fashion.
Authenticity Indicators
Low confidence in designer origin. Lack of visible hallmarks or signatures on the face indicates mass-market production (common for brands like Joan Rivers or Kirks Folly, but those usually feature stamps on the back).
Flaws to Note
A coating of dust and minor residue visible across stones (needs cleaning); possible minor surface scratches on enamel; missing back pin information (need to verify pin function).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, Mercari, or Poshmark. These platforms are excellent for small, lightweight accessories with low shipping costs. Local Facebook Marketplace for 'Halloween Bundles'.
Selling Tips
Wait until late August or early September to list for maximum exposure. Use keywords like 'Fall Fashion,' 'Thanksgiving Jewelry,' 'Jack-o-Lantern Brooch,' and 'Autumn Accessorizing.' Clean with a soft brush and slightly damp cloth to brighten the stones before photographing against a dark background.
