This is a nice piece - love the open framework. High polished gold plate with prong set austrian rhinestone crystals. A regular bar pin with secure clasp. Measures 3 inches across the wing span. 1 and 5/8 inches tall. I love the baguettes in the tail. This piece comes from older stored stock. Condition mint.
