This vintage stone-inlay parrot brooch features carefully cut and set colored stones set into a 950 sterling silver framework. The green appears to be malachite, the red likely coral shell, and the blue lapis. Probably Mexican and dating from the mid-20th century, it retains a catch-and-pin clasp typical of that era’s manufacturing. A charming addition to any collection—2½ inches long and in great condition.
