Find of the Week- Forbidden and Austrian Fruit Brooches: Amazing Adornments Costume Jewelry Finds








Amazing Adornments Find of the Week

3 Austrian Fruit Brooches



We found three lovely vintage Austrian fruit brooches this past week including two of the much coveted "Forbidden Fruit". The Forbidden Fruit pieces are especially collectable and were produced during the 1950s. They come in many colors and depict all sorts of fruit and vegetables. We have even seen earrings in this style. We have heard and noticed that they are not as easy to find anymore at reasonable prices.

The Forbidden Fruit are made of Lucite. It is important to note that the piece must be Lucite to be
considered a "Forbidden Fruit" piece. They are covered with rhinestones giving them a bumpy appearance as shown in images one and three below. They are so much fun to wear and we know of some collectors that wear several at a time for a dramatic look!

The strawberry brooch in the center is glass. As you can see the surface is textured. The backing is
japanned
and the green rhinestones are prong set.
