Collectable Cadoro Partridge in a Pear Tree Christmas Pin
I was so pleased to see Cadoro on the cover of the latest copy of Vintage Fashion & Costume Jewelry magazine as we love the jewels and we had received this pin the very same day as the magazine. I had no idea that the article featured the pin!

The mentioned article also cleared up some confusion over the makers information. If you do research on vintage jewelry, I am sure you have run into instances where you will find information that is different from book to book or site to site. Apparently, according to the author, this was the case with Cadoro. Incorrect information travels fast
these days thanks to the web. We have updated our Bios pages to reflect the newly discovered information.
Christmas tree pins are great sellers and the Partridge in a Pear Tree pins are collectors favorites for the holiday or any time of the year. The prices have always been average to above average and they are rising.
Many costume jewelers made them, since the 1940s, or at least had their name placed on jobbed pieces. This makes for a vast selection of many styles and themes not to mention materials. Wearing these delightful pins became very popular during the 1950s.
This festive designer pin has rich color and close attention to detail was paid. The pears are actually sitting within settings and I love the color of the partridge and the pot. Not to forget that big red bow neatly tied on the standard. Besides, it is fun to wear something other than the typical red and green or blue Christmas tree pin!
I know for certain that collecting these can be addictive. Like trinket boxes, I hardly ever see one I can pass up. They also make great gifts and this one is in excellent gift giving condition.
